Ain’t That Nothin’ Lyrics
You're pushin a furnace
You're workin' too hard
You're setting things off
All over-the yard
You play with your top
Till your eyes start to spin
Then you shrug your shoulders
And ask where I've been
Travel fullfills you
But the distance it kills you
Oh oh ain't that nothin'
Why don't you tell me somethin'
Tragedy, ain't that nothin'
Why don't tell me somethin'
The fan keeps whirling
The wind stays hot
But I can't keep
From slippin' a lot
I look in that purse
It's a blessing and curse
Oh oh, ain't that nothin'
Why don't you tell me somethin'
Tragedy, ain't that nothin'
I just wish you'd tell me somethin'
Discover dishonour
A thousand commands
It ain't worth a shot
That target is sand
But I love disaster
And I love what comes after
Oh yeah, ain't that nothin'
Why don't you tell me somethin'
Tragedy, ain't that nothin'
I just wish you'd tell me somethin'
Ain't that nothin'
A-don't you tell me somethin'
Well, ain't that nothin'
Oh yeah, you can tell me somethin'
Ain't that nothin'
Won't you tell me somethin'
Ain't that nothin'
Somethin' ain't nothin'
Ain't that nothin'
Oh, ain't that nothin'
Oh, ain't that nothin'
Oh, ain't that nothin'
