Nothing Good Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

He sees it coming from a mile away 

He knows all the rules by heart and so the game is played 

He's trading love for this sordid night of bliss 

Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this 

Nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this 

You've seen how people rise in times of need 

Forget all their pettiness, forget all their greed 

But he can't rise above this warm and reckless kiss 

Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this 

From this only sorrow 

From this no future, only tomorrows 

And when the morning comes tumbling down 

No trace of the night before, it's still the same old town 

But deep inside now hides a stranger in his midst 

And nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this 

Nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this
