Lady luck just let you down, she's just another girl

Grins and snickers all around

Imitation pearl, bones

Mass inflation, welfare line... gross economy

Trade it all for what's behind

Curtain number three

Gourmet restaurant, best in town

Don't know what you ate

Fresh last week is still around

Sodium phosphate, bones

Secrets always travel farther than they should

And loose translations float around the neighbourhood

And rumours don't do anyone a bit of good
They just get started, funny you never know

You never know

The first-amendment vigilante attitude

The gospel truth according to the book of Someone said so

The front line grapevine jury's in a nasty mood

I like to take things one step at a time

One foot in front of the other

I like to think things will all work out fine

And follow along behind those

One act play-things can give you a thrill

Guess it depends on the actor

Dreams can come true, but some things never will

As a matter of fact, those things are driving me crazy

Those things are keeping me sane

Springtime comes and brings the flowers, oh how new love burns

You and I, we spent the hours, lost to all concern

And now I know where I belong

I'm sorry baby, I was wrong

Autumn came and took the flowers, never to return - good-bye

Took away this love of ours; will we ever learn? Oh-

And now I know where I belong

I'm sorry baby, I was wrong

There's a master plan, or so they say

I'm a patient man, s'il vous plait

And if what you earn and what you deserve

Isn't worth the price you pay
Save it for a rainy day

I'm a patient man

So you made a wish, on a falling star, that's what you got

Oh-o, and here you are, like it or not

And the truth is everyone else

Shares the same cloudy sky

It's so useless, blaming yourself

Stayed up all night waiting, thought that you might call

Half the night debating, seems like after all

You made your mind up

Oh, I guess you made your mind up

Damn these strained relations, makes me want to crawl

Top negotiations, feeling two foot small

Guess you made your mind up

Oh, such a shame to wind up

Staring at the ceiling, bouncing off the wall

Out in the middle of nowhere

Gathered around in the barn

Animals all in agreement

They was down on the farm

There was talk of all the boring hours

Standin' around with a nothin' to do

It was just another boring evening

With a pail of boring things to chew

There was cows and horses and sheeps and pigs

They was tired of the daily routine
