lyrics

onight, every call I make draws a blank
sitting ducks (so pretty) singing in a stream
ever wondered how headaches and old ice cream
leads me into streets I'm walking, so supreme

but now, for you, I'm old and out of tune
and worse, for me, I've never felt so alive . . .

it's hard to stay up writing parts
and it hurts when you sing so out of tune
it's hard to live with breaking hearts

tonight, every call I make draws a blank
sitting ducks (so pretty) sitting in a dream
you ever wondered how headaches and old ice cream
leads me into streets I'm walking, so supreme

but now, for you, I'm old and out of tune
and worse, for me, I've never felt so alive . . .
