Yeah, I wish you could seenThat I really could shine, shine -nI wish you could seenWith your dark blonde voice nAnd your mud-stumble shoesnAnd your social security cheque, you can't losenYou could offer me injury - I won't refusenYou're constantly gaining but you give what you choosennOh, how did you ever learnnTo talk so that people scream?nOh how did you learnnWith your brown eyes waiting for someone to drownnAnd your black leather wardrobe and your Brando-boy frownnIn the way that an army can cancel a town,nYou've only to half grin and I'm on the groundnnYeah, I wish I was goodnTo leave behind all false dreamsnI wish I was goodnWhile the lines on your face talk of times yet unknownnAnd your knuckles are white with the seeds to be sownnI'd sacrifice solitude to know you alonenBut I can't give my soul and I won't take you homenWith your brown eyes waiting for someone to drownnAnd your fall apart wardrobe and your Brando-boy frownnIn the way that an army can cancel a town,nYou've only to half grin and I'm on the groundnWith your dark blonde voice and your mud-stumble shoes,nYour social security cheque, you can't losenOffer me injury, I won't refusenWhile you're constantly gaining, you give what you choosennI wish I was goodnMaybe some day…n
