Couplet
CBack in the old folky Fdays
AmThe air was Emmagic when we Dplayed
CThe river boat was rocking in the Frain
AmMidnight was the Emtime for the Draid
Couplet
GOh Isabella, Proud Isabella
AmThey tore you down and plowed you under
BmYou're only real with your make-up Con
GHow could I see you and Dstay too long
Couplet
CAll along the Navaho FTrail
AmBurn-outs stub their Emtoes on garbage Dpails
CWaitresses crying in the Frain
AmWill their boyfriends Empass this way aDgain?
Couplet
GOh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
AmSure ain't happy neither are the kids
BmShe needs someone Cthat she can scream at
GAnd I'm such at heel Dfor making her so bad
Couplet
CI guess I'll call it sickness Fgone
AmIt's hard to say the Emmeaning to this Dsong
CAn ambulance can only go so Ffast
AmIt's easy to get Emburied in the Dpast
CWhen you try to make a good thing Flast Am D

Couplet
GI saw today, in the entertainment section
AmThere's room at the top for private detection
BmTo Mom and Dad this Cjust doesn't matter
GBut it's either that or Dpay off the kidnappers
Couplet
CSo all you critics sit aFlone
AmYou're no better than Emme for what you've Dshown
CWith your stomach pump and your hook and ladder Fdreams
AmWe could get togeEmther for some Dscenes
Couplet
GWell I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive
AmAnd out on the corner it's half past five
BmBut the subways are empty Cand so are the cafes
GExcept for the Farmer's Market Dand I can still hear him sayin'
Couplet
C"You're all just pissin' in the Fwind
AmYou don't know Emit but you Dare"
CAnd there ain't nothing like a Ffriend
AmWho can tell you you're just Empissin' in the Dwind
Couplet
GI never knew a man could tell so many lies
AmHe had a different story for every set of eyes
BmHow can he remember Cwho he's talking to?
GCause I know it ain't me Dand I hope it isn't you G
