lyrics

CHORUS:
I thought this was the beginning
of a successful romance
But I had no sense of direction
I didn’t know how to dance
I’m losing all my precious time
to do the things that I should
‘cause I lost it all trying to make it in Hollywood

If dogs can walk and birds can fly
If one and one make two
Why am I stuck in the middle
of a scene I just can’t get through?
I need a second opinion
Before the concrete starts to set
And I spend the rest of my days in a circus, without a net

(CHORUS)

Lost my money on the freeway
Lost my talent in my car
Lost myself in a strange town
Good lord – have I gone too far?
Take a look at the odds now
There’s nothing more that I can do
Except sit back and stare at the land of red, white and blue

(CHORUS)
