Oh, once upon a midnight dearies |
|
I woke with something in my head |
|
I couldn't escape the memory |
|
Of a phone call and of what you said |
|
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift |
|
I could not believe my eyes |
|
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend |
|
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies |
|
Yeah, humor me and tell me lies |
|
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind |
|
And as we seek so shall we find |
|
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here |
|
But not without a certain degree of fear |
|
Of what will be with you and me |
|
I still can see things hopefully |
|
But you |
|
Why you wanna give me a runaround |
|
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up |
|
When all it does is slow me down |
|
And shake me and my confidence |
|
About a great many things |
|
But I've been there I can see it cower |
|
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings |
|
Of a bad play where the heroes are right |
|
And nobody thinks or expects too much |
|
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights |
|
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch |
|
Hey baby, let's keep in touch |
|
Well, I want more than a touch I want you to reach me |
|
And show me all the things no one else can see |
|
So what you feel becomes mine as well |
|
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell |
|
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine |
|
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line |
|
But you |
|
Why you wanna give me a runaround |
|
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up |
|
When all it does is slow me down |
|
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking |
|
And I've got some news for you |
|
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop |
|
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do |
|
Oh, sure the banner may be torn |
|
And the wind's gotten colder |
|
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical |
|
But I know no matter what the waitress brings |
|
I shall drink in and always be full |
|
Yeah, I will drink in and always be full |
|
Oh, I like coffee and I like tea |
|
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea |
|
I still got this dream that you just can't shake |
|
I love you to the point you can no longer take |
|
Well all right okay so be that way, I hope and pray |
|
That there's something left to say |
|
But you |
|
Why you wanna give me a runaround |
|
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up |
|
When all it does is slow me down |
|
But you |
|
Why you wanna give me a runaround |
|
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up |
|
When all it does is slow me down |
