No More Love Songs

(album: The Spiritual Dark Age - 2018)

So I'm heading off to find myself a new face
I'm sick of staring at these thick red lines
Trust the second thought, the first is a dirty liar
The kind who'll kick out all your good friends
When you're out of luck, out of heart, out of whiskey
You're out of courage, out of kicks, out of cares

But all your past kisses they sting like near misses
I'm tempted to drop my guard just so you can plant one on
But I'm stubborn as a thirsty mule being led to a clear pool
Everyone's moving on and I'm still stuck on you

I ain't gonna write no more love songs
Cause they will stay after you're long gone
It's a dangerous game to play

This crippled old Matador is still seeing red you know
Going toe to toe every time he sees a bull
And every single blow reminds him of a youthful tune
Every single fall is a certainty he's clinging to

I ain't gonna write no more love songs
Cause they will stay after you're long gone
It's a dangerous game to play

I guess we said it all
So disconnect the phone
First night on my own
I'm not thinking of you

I guess we said it all
So disconnect the phone
The first night on my own
I'm not thinking of you

I ain't gonna write no more love songs
Cause they will stay after you're long gone
I ain't gonna write no more love songs
Cause they will stay after you're long gone
It's a dangerous game to play

(I like the fast ones anyway)
