Lyrics

Polyester Poetry (Bohm/Ryder 2004)

Verse 1
In my room
I'm the only guest
And in your dry-cleaned thoughts I'm second best

Pre-Chorus 1
A cup of tea and polyester poetry
And I wait

Chorus
And I'm wondering if I'm just a quote
In the book that you never wrote
Can I put myself back on the shelf
As Edition No. 12

Verse 2
Rest your brain
Honey don't complain
Rimbaud and Hesse always took the blame

Pre-Chorus 2
A cup of tea and polyester poetry
And we wait

Chorus
And I'm wondering if I'm just a quote
In the book that you never wrote
Can I put myself back on the shelf
As Edition No. 12

Pre-Chorus 3
A cup of tea and polyester poetry
And I wait

End Chorus
And I'm wondering if I'm just a quote
In the book that you never wrote
Can I put myself back on the shelf
As Edition No. 12
And I'm wondering if I'm just a quote
In the book that you never wrote
Can I put myself back on the shelf
As Edition No. 12
