Reply Only With a Lyric...

I was trying to find my way home
But all I heard was a drone
Bouncing off a satellite
Crushing the last long American night
 
Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie, don't you know they're gonna be there
Ah, Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy, they'll be comin' up for air
We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool
Stay out all night, it's gonna feel all right
 
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
 
A man looks up on a yellow sky
and the rain turns to rust in his eye
rumours of his health are lies
old england is dying
 
Betty came by, on her way
Said she had a word to say
'Bout things today
And fallen leaves

Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes
 
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
 
lately it feels like were drifting apart
could be because you're insane
we still lie together every night
when I sleep I dream that we're alright
if this is love I'd rather keep dreaming
 
The day I came home and found my suitcase sittin' out on the porch
Well, I tried to get in, she changed the lock
Then I see this note taped on the mailbox that said
"So long, turkey. My attorney will be in touch."
So I decided right then and there I was gonna do what's right
Give 'er her fair share but, boys
I didn't know her share was gonna be that much

She got the goldmine, (She got the goldmine)
I got the shaft. (I got the shaft)
They split it right down the middle
But she got a bigger half
Well, it all sounds sorta funny
But it hurts too much to laugh
She got the goldmine, and I got the shaft
 
Well, I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue
Well, the music plays and you display your heart for me to see
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you
 
Let's get the show on the road, babe
Won't you take a look around
One thing to remember
when you're climbing to the top
You'd better know the way back down...
I can't believe you'd really stumble
But then, I always knew you'd fall
It seems so easy, to say 'I knew you' when
I'd rather it was not at all
 
You think the sun rises and sets for you
But the same sun rises, sets and shines
On the folks too
I don't mind you turning round
I myself would even like a little higher ground

It's high time that you found
The same people you walk on, on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
 
Let's talk about sex, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
 
There she goes, I won't see her again
She's gone to school with her best friend
She only does the things she likes to do
Now, she wants something new
Wednesday week, she loved me
Wednesday week, never happened at all
 
No one tells you nothing even when you know they know
But they tell you what you should do
They don't like to see you grow
