Negative Attraction lyrics

It's hard not to write about it All this negative attraction Though I don't wanna pile it on your overflowing bowl It's been rolling round my mind Every word you've thrown before you Didn't they say you can pick it up with a word And throw it down with a line Now I'm not accusing The heaven that is in my neighbor's soul But have you heard your manifesto recently? It's like all the songbird's gone So many words unkind You put them on your table So many curses and signs Did you lose it in the label? They say God put it down with a word But I picked it up on the radio A young God lost in the hay bale There's a barn fire out there don't you know? Now I'm not accusing The heaven that is in my neighbor's soul But have you heard your manifesto And where did the songbird go?
