Lyrics

go out fire for a walk
put those flames in a new pool of thought
realize that the hardest thing
is you can’t teach trouble to sing
 
you can buy your love a meteor
then spend all night on the moonlit floor
you try and try like your mother begs
but you can’t teach trouble to sing
 
dumbfounded by the indecision you sink and think
how these days your hand doesn’t seem to stop the shake
 
refuse to believe that this is all
and then you pound your head against the invisible wall
fight and fight but you never win
‘cause you can’t teach trouble to sing
 
so make the best of what your evening brings
‘cause you can’t teach trouble to sing
