lyrics

Once upon a time I had two loves
They were as different as below and above
One drove me to the drink
The other sent me to the shrink
Now, talk about your push comes to shove

You can't teach a hammer to love nails
Or the wind to love the sails
I must be confessin'
I'll probably never learn my lesson
Now the train's a-comin' loose from the rails

Can't even go out in my home town
Seems like I'm a lost without a found
I sure was feeling great
But then a phone call sealed my fate
Now my smile has turned right upside down

So I'm searching in the book to call a friend
When I get to Z, I realize it's the end
So help me, Dalai Lama
To escape from all this drama
Do you have some knowledge you can lend?

At the tunnel's end, I think see a light
So maybe I should stick around and fight
Every note rings true
But what good can it do?
You win, it's over, goodnight
You win, it's over, goodnight
