I wrote a note to Ray And said don't come round today You know I hate to have to aim to please The jungle days are gone I'm feeling like King Kong And maybe you're a little bit like me I know We won't find it if it doesn't show At least until we learn to keep our expectations low I cross my fingers twice And throw out all advice And someday I might lose it all that way The room is made of wire The telephone's on fire With open eyes a scare comes into play And I do What appears to be the thing to do That accidentally sacrifice the many for the few It's good when it's good and it's bad when it's bad And sometime it goes nowhere It's good when it's good and it's bad when it's bad And it might seem like I care But I'll be selfish again Like the weather Well Ray gave me these lines And learned a few of mine And we worked hard to hear the angels sing, sing It's up and then it's down But he never liked the ground And now he isn't careful with his wings I don't see Why he had to go depend on me He tells me all the time that all he wants is to be free Well it's good when it's good and it's bad when it's bad And sometime it goes nowhere It's good when it's good and it's bad when it's bad And it might seem like we care But we'll all be selfish again Again and again and again and again and again and again Again and again and again and again and again and again
