The High Price of Inspiration - Guy Clark

The mirror's stained with dirty looks

At least it never lies

The muse is calling down the hall

Come on let's get high

The high price of inspiration

Always leaves me broken

But I keep coming back for more

Still I take no caution

Inspiration with some wings

Is what I'm looking for

Inspiration with no strings

I'd like that even more

I'll fly me to a better place

Plan this safe and sound

Don't you worry I'll be back

If I ever become tense

Pretty sure I'll make it

If I get through today

Or I'll see tomorrow

There is always hell to pay

Inspiration with some wings

Is what I'm looking for

Inspiration with no strings

I'd like that even more

Inspiration with some wings

Is what I'm looking for

Inspiration with no strings

I'd like that even more

I'd like that even more

I'd like that even more
