Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm
Living a life of illusion
And oh, why can't we let it be
And see through the hole in this wall of confusion
I just can't help the feeling I'm
Living a life of illusion

Pow! Right between the eyes

We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up
All night long. All night long

We keep on grinnin' 'til the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gums
All night long. All night long

I was standin' at the station
Out at the end of the line
Feelin' mad, just a bit impatient
And I wish that you would make up my mind
Yes I was out there on the platform
Pay phone keeps eatin' my dimes
And I still don't have an answer
And the train's leavin' right on time

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

Found an old puzzle somebody had quit
Tried a few pieces and hoped that they fit
But they're going together so slowly
It may take me forever to know
If it's only a puzzle

Parts of the puzzle will never be found
And even though pieces are gone

We have just begun
We should feel a part of us that we're leaving
Back home
We have just begun
On the deed that's done to us
All the favours
To be grown

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 nothin' to do
It was just another boring evening
With a pail of boring things to chew

Taking the time for dreams
Off to waste the day
Plungin' headlong, yeah
Nothing is what it seems
Only just a word that was said wrong
Takin' the time for dreams
Feelin' lazy

Somewhere out on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay

I have a mansion, I forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near, yet apart
I'm runnin' low in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign, yes I do

Can't think of any reason
Don't know exactly why
Must be it's out of season
Give it another try

I'm out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so

I'm just an ordinary average guy
My friends all are boring
And so am I
We're just ordinary average guys

We all lead ordinary average lives
With average kids
And average wives

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

Spent the last year
Rocky mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
I think it's safe to say
Time to open fire
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad, oh yeah

I catch your reflection though smoke-filled eyes.
Begin my inspection I watch you.
Your smooth syncopation,
You synthesize the beat and the vibration.
There's something about you, your sultry ways
That gives me a shiver.
Your style's so enticing, you wear it well
Completely inviting I watch you.

I have a friend
He's like my brother
And every now and then we sit down
And we talk to each other

One time we talked
All about the future
And we shared each others' dreams and plans

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

Goin' through the motions
Tryin' not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Rowin' through the ocean
Caught without an oar
Someone said they all exploded

Time out, save the play

Tomorrow, makin' a list of things to do
And when I wake up, uh uh uh oh
Gonna cross off a few

There must be millions of reasons
To try and explain, you're never through
When they give you twenty-four hours
Only so much a man can do

Hey now the well run dry
Pages of the book on fire
Read the writing ...on the wall...

Hoedown, say showdown
Everywhere you look
they're fighting...Hear the call...

Well I don't know, but I've been told
Two sides to every story
The one is right and the other is wrong
Guess it depends which side your on

'Cause one man's blessing is another man's curse
One man's drink is another man's thirst
One man's pleasure is another man's pain

I’d like to announce my candidacy,
I’d appreciate it if you’d vote for me.
I want to be Vice President.
Vote for me.

If I was Vice President you know what I’d do?
Pretty much anything I wanted to.
Vote for me. Vote for me.

Standin' in the runway
Wavin' at the plane
There goes everything you own
You called home collect
And they didn't know your name
Starin' at the telephone

You thought he was a doctor
