Marc Copely Won't Let It Happen Twice lyrics

Under a bridge I met her
Thinking I was clever
I raised my book and prophesied
Like a convict pleading
The message was misleading

I took your advice
I won't let it happen twice
Tell me, have you heard the joke?
Did you read the bar room quotes?

It's all expensive merchandise
Like counterfeit currency
Looks can be deceiving
I took your advice
I won't let it happen twice

It's a waste of time thinking about it
Just thinking about it
You should let it, like right where you found it
They keep you surrounded, keep you surrounded

Poets and politicians
Every thing's a strange ambition
I'm writing letters with no rhyme


I should have learned from you
But I had so much to prove
I took your advice
I won't let it happen twice

It's a waste of time thinking about it
Just thinking about it
You should let it, like right where you found it
They keep you surrounded, keep you surrounded

Under a bridge I met her
Gathering stones together
With no war to justify
I guess, I didn't understand
It was all sleight of hand

I took your advice
I won't let it happen twice
I took your advice
I won't let it happen twice
I took your advice
I won't let it happen twice
