Lyric - Fresh Out of Clever

The situation demanded
A joke of some kind.
When you said you were going away.
But nothing real funny
Jumped into my mind
I’m fresh out of Clever today


You said our life together
Had ruined your head
Then you waited for something from me
But my witty responses
Were all left unsaid
Fresh out of Clever, you see


One a better day
I’d have thrown in a line
I’d have given as good as I got
But today I’ve got nothing
And the fault is all mine
My comedic timing’s all shot


So, hey, I got nothing
Just leave me alone
And close out the door as you go
On the way you can cut me
One more time to the bone
Cos I’m fresh out of Clever you know.
