ALL DRIED UP (UNACCOMPANIED)

WHEN THE WORDS JUST WILL NOT COME, YOURE ALL DRIED UP
WHEN YOUR BRAIN IS STUCK ON DRAIN, YOURE ALL DRIED UP,
WHEN YOU CANT WRITE A WORD, ABOUT WHAT YOUVE SEEN OR HEARD, WHEN INSPIRATION WILL NOT COME, YOURE ALL DRIED UP.

WHEN YOU WAKE ON SUNDAY MORNING AND YOURE ALL DRIED UP,
WHEN YOUR TONG FEELS LIKE A RUG, YOURE ALL DRIED UP,
WHEN SHE ASKS YOU WHERE YOU WERE, UNTIL AFTER PAST FOUR,
WHEN INSPIRATION WILL NOT COME, YOURE ALL DRIED UP.

WHEN YOURE SIXTY FIVE AND YOURE ALL DRIED UP, SURPRISED YOURE STILL ALIVE THOUGH YOURE ALL DRIED UP,
WHEN FOR FASHIONS YOU DONT CARE, WHEN YOU BUY LONG UNDERWEAR, WHEN YOUNG CHILDREN STOP TO STARE AT YOU, YOURE ALL DRIED UP.

WHEN YOU START DRINKING HALVES, YOURE ALL DRIED UP,
WHEN YOU WONDER WHY KIDS LAUGH, YOURE ALL DRIED UP,
WHEN YOUVE MORE FRIENDS UNDER GROUND THAN ARE LEFT STANDING AROUND, WHEN YOU SAY, DIG THAT GROOVY SOUND
YOURE ALL DRIED UP

OH WHEN YOU DIG THAT GROOVY SOUND
YOURE ALL DRIED UP.
