[00:12.33] Oh, once upon a midnight dearies
[00:15.06] I woke with something in my head
[00:18.12] I couldn't escape the memory
[00:20.82] Of a phone call and of what you said
[00:23.94] Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
[00:26.85] I could not believe my eyes
[00:29.67] When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
[00:32.82] Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
[00:36.03] Yeah, humor me and tell me lies
[00:39.00] And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
[00:42.09] And as we seek so shall we find
[00:45.18] And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
[00:48.18] But not without a certain degree of fear
[00:50.94] Of what will be with you and me
[00:54.03] I still can see things hopefully
[00:59.85] But you
[01:00.00] Why you wanna give me a runaround
[01:02.94] Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
[01:06.45] When all it does is slow me down
[01:12.66] And shake me and my confidence
[01:15.39] About a great many things
[01:18.06] But I've been there I can see it cower
[01:21.21] Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
[01:23.52] Of a bad play where the heroes are right
[01:27.60] And nobody thinks or expects too much
[01:30.54] And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
[01:33.15] Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
[01:36.15] Hey baby, let's keep in touch
[01:39.57] Well, I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
[01:42.60] And show me all the things no one else can see
[01:45.60] So what you feel becomes mine as well
[01:48.72] And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
[01:51.90] What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
[01:54.48] And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line
[02:00.33] But you
[02:00.48] Why you wanna give me a runaround
[02:03.51] Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
[02:07.02] When all it does is slow me down
[02:08.31] Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
[02:52.20] And I've got some news for you
[02:55.47] It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
[02:58.14] And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
[03:01.29] Oh, sure the banner may be torn
[03:03.18] And the wind's gotten colder
[03:05.31] Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
[03:07.56] But I know no matter what the waitress brings
[03:10.53] I shall drink in and always be full
[03:13.20] Yeah, I will drink in and always be full
[03:17.43] Oh, I like coffee and I like tea
[03:20.46] I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
[03:22.74] I still got this dream that you just can't shake
[03:25.86] I love you to the point you can no longer take
[03:28.47] Well all right okay so be that way, I hope and pray
[03:33.00] That there's something left to say
[03:37.23] But you
[03:37.44] Why you wanna give me a runaround
[03:38.97] Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
[03:39.72] When all it does is slow me down
[03:40.53] But you
[03:40.68] Why you wanna give me a runaround
[03:41.40] Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
[03:44.04] When all it does is slow me down
