I been writing a book for my ghosts In return for the times that they did it for me I been staying up into the night The police have been helping me with my inquiries They've taken my statement And read through my diary They say that the case is closed And you should write what you know They sat me in front of the judge He said: 'Just look around you and open your eyes What's wrong with the things that you see? Here is the verdict, a word to the wise There's no need to make up Those outrageous lies...' He read out the sentence so slow 'Write what you know' I said: 'I been singing a song from a dream Like a letter that's sent for the pleasure of sending I don't care if it ever gets there Or if it goes round the world on a road never-ending I try hard to please you Without condescending.' The Jury said 'Let that man go Write what he knows!'
