See the writing on the wall

Once the man who had it all

You threw it all away, look around and nothing's left

You've got nothing to forget

No golden yesterday



'Cause you missed your calling

You could have lived up in the sky

You missed your calling every time



Watch the lady throw the rune

Have her come up to your room

She comes from Montreal

There's no limelight only line

And Tequila's made you blind

It's time to lose it all



'Cause you missed your calling

You could have lived up in the sky

You missed your calling one more time



The boy has got potential

But he'll never have commercial success

We gave him good direction

But he always thought that he knew what's best

We tried to set him straight

His calls will have to wait

We tried to change his future fate

But now it's too late



Something keeps telling quiet now, quiet now - quiet now

Mother says quiet down, quiet down - quiet down .........
