| Someone’s gonna tell you and it might be me
|
| There’s something on your face that even you can’t see
|
| It isn’t your eyes and it isn’t your nose
|
| You don’t have to sniff to tell you that it ain’t no rose
|
| It’s something in your arrogant line
|
| Your brain is tired of biding its time
|
| You’re gonna blow up here
|
| So Paul you got to make up your mind
|
| You drag into the studio and don’t care why
|
| You got a life as big as city hall and that’s no lie
|
| The aging owner treats you to a couple of beers
|
| Feeding you cliches about the thing between your ears
|
| You wonder if its all he can say
|
| You’ll find a better way to say it someday
|
| But Paul you’re too busy stripping gears
|
| Now Paul your life is dripping away
|
| Hang in, hang out, hang on, hang on Paul
|
| You’re having a ball
|
| It’s your way of life and not mine
|
| It’s so strangely easy to see
|
| But you’re laughing so hard you could die
|
| I’m not about to tell you what you should be doing
|
| I tend to disappear when I smell trouble brewing
|
| I understand exactly what’s the matter with you
|
| We’re stranded here together in this paddleless canoe
|
| I’ll take my chances in the water for now
|
| It’s what my mother would have wanted anyhow
|
| The life you’re living is over
|
| But Paul, you’re no contented cow
|
| They say being in show biz is a thrill
|
| It makes your life a breeze, (…)
|
| But you better do something Paul before it kills you, yeah
|
| Paul, you’ve got to make up your mind |
