Chapter & Verse

I got the dictionary in my hand

But I can't seem to find the word I'm looking for

I've checked every letter, now I'm up to z

There just ain't anymore

I've got a million choices in my head

If I could only chose the one that says it best

I shelled out a quarter for a greeting card

Now I can't seem to get my pen to do the rest

But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse

I'll quote you any part, every word

But it's so deep inside it can't be heard

I've got the sunday paper in my hand

And I've been working on the weekly cryptogram

I know there's a message in between the lines

That's the same way I am

I got the crossword puzzle half complete

But now I need another word four letters long

It's just like the way I want a perfect fit

I can settle for less but all of them are wrong

There could be no jealousy over my poetry

It's my weakest quality, no vocabulary

I got the scrabble letters in a pile

But there could never be enough to say it all

I know you don't wanna hear the same old line

So you'll just have the read the writing on the wall
