after the show

I met a man in fresno back in '73
in his pocket he carried a picture of me
we worked well together, never had any trouble
only later did I realize that I was his double
same story with a different cast
you knew that it couldn't last
seasons come and seasons go
take them fast or take them slow
there's nobody watching after the show
your mouth is moving & it's dropping all the usual lines
wonderful words which never materialize
none are so blind as he who can't open his eyes
he's mesmerized
to a world he doesn't recognize
yeah yeah yeah yeah
same story with a different cast
you knew that it couldn't last
easy come easy go
take it fast or take it slow
there's nothing but static after the show

how do they vote, what do they eat
they're moving around but they're
not on their feet
hey look, here they come
glidin' down the street
I know if I had one, I would
gladly take my seat in the
unicycle community
they never walk
they only ride
a second wheel is
never tried
because one is better than two
in a peculiar way
I'd do better than you on a
unicycle today
unicycle community
unicycle community
last night, moon shining bright
what did I see?
a thousand and one one-wheel wonders
rolling home to me
by the light of day one could say
that it's only a dream
but I know deep in my heart
I'll be making the scene with the
unicycle community

remember me, angeline

do you know what it's like to be
caught between a nighmare and a dream
I don't know what you think you see
as you go from laughter to a scream
angeline, my angeline
you don't have to play with me
angeline, oh angeline
just remember me
when you see the shadow at your door
each time a little darker than before
no one knows exactly what to say
you can't make a deal or run away
angeline, my angeline
you don't have to play with me
angeline, oh angeline
just remember me
a staged scene which never comes to life
a whispered hint that something isn't right
then you fly higher than the moon
and everyone agrees you fell too soon
angeline, my angeline
you don't have to play with me
angeline, oh angeline
just remember me

I'm so happy

I'm so happy that you're walking by my side
I'm so happy 'cause I know that you are mine
I couldn't believe my luck when they told me
that you wanted to meet me
now I'm stuck on you and
nothing in this world can defeat me
but if you ever were to tell me goodbye
I'd shed a tear, I'd turn around,
fall down and die
don't care about your clothes
don't care about the color of your hair
I only need to know that you will always
be there
but if they tell me that it's all built on a lie
I tell 'em thanks my friend but I guess I'm doing fine/
I tell 'em thanks my friend but I think you've lost your mind

jessica is a bitch etc.
if something goes wrong then I'm to blame
she sees our work as a zero-sum game
if rudeness were a crime she'd be in jail
she bcc's my boss on every email
every time I think of you
I just don't know what to do
I don't want to put you down, but you
always leave me wearing a frown
it doesn't matter what I say
it always has to be exactly your way
I do the work but you take the credit
you're such a bitch, now yeah, I said it

once before, once again
03:56
|

|
I was in the wrong place
ill at ease and all alone
I saw the picture of your face, but I
couldn't get you on the phone
leaving me to wonder why
we do the things we do
we get nothing but trouble for our trouble
and heartache too
I see your shadow cross my window
I hear your knock upon my door
could it be it was me that you were looking for
once before, once again
you were at the crime scene
I was waiting at home
I knew you'd need someone to set you free
with that phone call
I drove you up to your place, you said
you wanna come inside
I said no thank you my friend, I
still have a little pride
