we made a splash on the screen
but we're just a flash in the pan
so come on baby and take my hand
and we'll laugh so hard about how we hardly matter to anyone
and anyone is welcome to join in
laugh it up, laugh it up
it's real funny
so funny i forgot how to laugh at it
but i'm laughin now
cos i finally remembered how


we were makin a music so mad to be made
that a sudden stop was the only way
to save us from shuckin all the songs that we sang
about everything
we started to sing about nothing
but everything and everything that everything isn't
and everything is what it was and it's been
and it will be again, someday, someway, and somehow
i'm thinkin about it now
cos i finally remembered how


we could be doctors of disco if we moved to san francisco
got it goin in a way it'd not been
you say "miracles don't grow on trees"
well look at these that i picked for you
without you having to ask me to
i spent some time and i signed a dotted line
waiting for the bus to take me one more time
to the town where the lost feel found on the dirty grounds
that they're around, and they've a right to be around


we were painfully shy,
but believing the lie that we shouldn't be,
we tried so hard to speak up
but our voices ignored,
oh we angrily swore that we
would keep our mouths shut forevermore
well didn't you get mine open a little while?
i wish you still did but i guess you still do
cos i'm thinkin of sayin all this to you
but it wouldn't do to bother you


we were sweet sacks of red wine
eating chocolate at bedtime
til the money went
and away i got sent to the factory where
they got jobs to spare so menial
well i do declare that i don't want no memorial
for the little i've done
oh it sure was fun while it lasted
and you'll be the last one i let leave so easily
because now i see that i was so
arrogant about that


we made a splash on the screen etc...
