Oh once upon
A midnight dearie
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 used to humor me
And tell me lies
Yeah humor me
And tell me lies
And I like to see
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 openly
But you
Why you wanna
Give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way
To speed things up
When all it does
Is slow me down
Shake me and
My confidence
'Bout a great n'
Many things
But I've been there
And I can see it cower
Like a nervous
Magician
Waiting in the wings
Of a bad play
Where the heroes
Are right
Nobody thinks or
Expects too much
And Hollywood's
Calling for the
Movie rights
Singing
Hey baby let's
Keep in touch
Hey baby let's
Keep in touch
But 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 run-around
Is a sure-fire way
To speed things up
When all it does
Is slow me down
Tra la la bomba
Dear this is
The pilot speakin'
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 get
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 it
And always be full
Yeah I will drink it
And always be full
Oh I like coffee
And I like tea
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 alright okay
So be that way
I hope and pray
That there's something
Left to say but you
Why you wanna
Give me a run-around
Yeah is it a
Sure-fire way to
Speed things up
When all it does
Is slow me down
Oh you
Why you wanna
Give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way
To speed things up
When all it does
Is slow me down
