Chapter and Verse

  I got the dictionary in my hand
  But I can't seem to find the word I'm looking for
  I've checked every letter, now I'm up to Z
  There just ain't anymore
  I've got a million choices in my head
  If I could only chose the one that says it best
  I shelled out a quarter for a greeting card
  Now I can't seem to get my pen to do the rest

  But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse
  I'll quote you any part, every word
  But it's so deep inside it can't be heard

  I've got the Sunday paper in my hand
  And I've been working on the weekly cryptogram
  I know there's a message in between the lines
  That's the same way I am
  I got the crossword puzzle half complete
  But now I need another word four letters long
  It's just like the way I want a perfect fit
  I can settle for less but all of them are wrong

  There could be no jealousy over my poetry
  It's my weakest quality, no vocabulary
  I got the scrabble letters in a pile
  But there could never be enough to say it all
  I know you don't wanna hear the same old line
  So you'll just have the read the writing on the wall
