about

AKA "O Euterpe, Where Art Thou?"

lyrics

I need a new idea for a story
And somehow I have nothing I can use
I really think that this would be a good time
To get some helpful input from the muse

Why is it when I’m writing to a deadline
Is always when my muse is absentee?
She’s prob’ly at a toga party somewhere
When she’s supposed to be inspiring me

Those Grecian gals who speak to us creatives
Are no-shows when we need their help the most
And if mine doesn’t get her act together
Before tonight my project will be toast.

Why is it when I’m writing to a deadline
Is always when my muse is absentee?
She’s prob’ly watching Netflix with her feet up
When she’s supposed to be inspiring me

Of course it’s just a metaphor, I know that
And really the ideas are my own
But making things would get a whole lot simpler
If I could call my muse up on the phone

Why is it when I’m writing to a deadline
Is always when my muse is absentee?
She’s prob’ly on vacation in Bermuda
When she’s supposed to be inspiring me
