	作词 : MacManus
	He thought he was the King of America
	Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine
	Now I try hard not to become hysterical
	But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying
	I wish that I could push a button
	And talk in the past and not the present tense
	And watch this hurtin' feeling disappear
	Like it was common sense
	It was a fine idea at the time
	Now it's a brilliant mistake
	She said that she was working for the ABC News
	It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use
	Her perfume was unspeakable
	It lingered in the air
	Like her artificial laughter
	Her mementos of affairs
	"Oh" I said "I see you know him"
	"Isn't that very fortunate for you"
	And she showed me his calling card
	He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two
	He was a fine idea at the time
	Now he's a brilliant mistake

	He thought he was the King of America
	But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams
	A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals
	The words of love in whispers
	And the axe of love in screams
	I wish that I could push a button
	And talk in the past and not the present tense
	And watch this lovin' feeling disappear
	Like it was common sense
	I was a fine idea at the time
	Now I'm a brilliant mistake
