What Good Is That?
[Verse 1]
It's a useless room all done in blue
Walls do nothing but keep me from you
Walls ain't nothing 'til they hold up a roof
So what good is that?
[Verse 2]
It's a state of mind that makes it so
Sleight of hand is a magic show
You came, I blinked, you turned to go
So what good is that?
[Bridge]
The hardest part, what I can't understand
I thought we were rockin' like Chuck Berry's band
I thought we were each other's biggest fans
So much for dreams of stardom
[Verse 3]
'Cause when the stars go out that final light
Can travel through a million nights
All we get is the leftover bright
So what good is that?
[Bridge]
I could kick and holler, scream and shout
Pull what's left of my hair out
But that would just remove all doubt
And hasten your departure
[Verse 4]
Your taillights are fading into the night
And I can keep them in my sight
For just one more minute if I squint just right
But what good is that?
What good is that?
