lyrics

I'm out of ideas
Can't think for myself
Just want to get back
To number one

I had some good years
Took time for myself
Now I'm coming back
For everyone

They'll write me some songs
I'll get back on the road
New hit parades
To go marching on

But I'm out of ideas
I just need some help
Just send me new notes
To play along

Get out of my way
I need some more space
I want to be left here
All alone

Just how many times
Can I settle down
Before it comes time
To break it off

Oooo

I love you so

But I'm out of ideas
Can't think for myself
Just want to get back
To having fun

And if we wanted we could all just run
And if I wanted I could be someone
And if I'm lucky then I'll just die young
But I'm running out of time

I'm out of ideas
(He's out of ideas)
I'm out of ideas
It's perpetual

I'm out of ideas
(He's out of ideas)
I'm out of ideas
For rock and roll

I'm out of ideas
Can't think for myself
Just want to get back
To number one

I'm out of ideas
I'm out of ideas
I'm out if ideas
