The Next Leonard Cohen
by McCutcheon
I want you to grow up
To be the next Janis Joplin
So I can be the next Leonard Cohen
We’ll dance and swing
Then I’ll know I haven’t failed
Even if I stay ugly and still get laid
The words seducing young women
Bringing them to my bed
Girls wearing Playboy tee shirts
Porn Star hot pants and B-movie actresses
I’ll play little keyboard ditties
Set to the theme of my grand poetry
Life at this moment is unfulfilled
I won’t do it anymore I can’t anymore
I refuse to go home with my hard-on again
The way you belt it out when you sing
Give me head on that unmade bed
Bill Burroughs’ Kansas to my New York City
Take me away please
I can be the next Leonard Cohen
To be the next Janis Joplin
So I can be the next Leonard Cohen
We’ll dance and swing
Then I’ll know I haven’t failed
Even if I stay ugly and still get laid
The words seducing young women
Bringing them to my bed
Girls wearing Playboy tee shirts
Porn Star hot pants and B-movie actresses
I’ll play little keyboard ditties
Set to the theme of my grand poetry
Life at this moment is unfulfilled
I won’t do it anymore I can’t anymore
I refuse to go home with my hard-on again
The way you belt it out when you sing
Give me head on that unmade bed
Bill Burroughs’ Kansas to my New York City
Take me away please
I can be the next Leonard Cohen
