Brilliant Mistake | |
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 acts 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 |
