off to face the world again
past the bathroom mirror
ignorance is bliss, they say
couldn`t be much clearer
imaging what might have been
thinking it could still be
all the lost years in between
still a sucker for a dream
you might be an oil tycoon
you might be a Cobb cartoon
you might be a Gershwin tune
you might be but you`re not
you might be a nations fall
you might be an eagles call
you might be the Albert Hall
you might be but you`re not
play the fool and act the clown
impress your friends and neighbours
not so good when you come down
with nothing for your labours
you could`ve been a movie star
you could`ve been a hero
you could have won a bridge too far
the best you get is no cigar
you might be an oil tycoon
you might be a Cobb cartoon
you might be a Gershwin tune
you might be but you`re not
you are what you are
you see what you see
you might be an oil tycoon
you might be a Cobb cartoon
you might be a Gershwin tune
you might be but you`re not
you might be a nations fall
you might be an eagles call
you might be the Albert Hall
you might be but you`re not
