Lyrics
Novelist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
your idea for a novel is a novel idea
but step it back, son. well, you've got nothing to fear
and you know that all you really wanted
was to make it out of this fucking town
your play would play all around town
but critic's reviews would just bring you down
and you know that all you really wanted
was to make it out, but not with me
your song would sing to the peasant's ear
bringing from each a single tear
but even after all the work you done
to carry your conscience, it still weighs a ton
