    Flash in the Pan Blues
    by Blind Carbon Copy

    I've gotta tell my story, but I just don't have the time
    oh, yeah - I've gotta tell my story, but I just don't have the time
    y' know if I can't find a way to do it soon, I just may lose my mind

    when I'm really smokin', baby, I'll always be your honey man
    as long as I am smokin', babe, I'll always be your honey man
    but it's hard to keep from thinkin' that I'm just another flash in the pan.

    baby, wish you'd do it for me, cause I know what you can do
    yes, I wish you'd do it for me, you gotta know I'd do it for you -
    but I'm blinded by your talent and I got no point of view

    aw, baby - you know what I mean.
    how you think I feel when you've opted out on me -
    gone all tens for somebody new?


    if I made a carbon copy of every plot a writer's rolled
    if I made myself a copy of every story ever told -
    distilled them to their essence, my streets would soon be lined with gold

    but what's the use of writin' when every single word's been read?
    baby, what's the use of readin', when everything has all been said
    and what's the use of living, when all the inspiration's dead?
