Don't sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one
Try not to sew it yourself
The threading won't stretch none

Don't give me none of that line (why not?)
Got to sing something
Love's song there's nothing to find (why not?)
Dead before playing

Don't sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one
Try not to sew it yourself
The threading won't stretch none
Who says the things that go in
There ain't no use saying
Dead thought can kill a good thing
The band is only playing

Don't give me none of that line (why not?)
Got to sing something
Love's song there's nothing to find (why not?)
Dead before playing

Why not climb a hill with someone who hates you?
Why not hate someone who climbs a hill with you?
And as time passes by, your feet start slipping
And you are wondering why there is no forgetting
[Guitar solo]

Don't sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one
Try not to sew it yourself
The threading don't stretch none
Who says the things that go in
There ain't no use saying
Dead thought can kill a good thing
The band is only playing

Don't give me none of that line (why not?)
Got to sing something
Love's song there's nothing to find (why not?)
Dead before playing, dead before playing
