Hey - Just when you think you are the shit

Well, you look down and your fly is unzipped

That's when you take a moment to say,

"Well, sometimes I'm so totally unhip."

Just when the great ones inspire you

To throw caution to the wind

That's when the mirror mirror on the wall says,

"Babe, you better throw your towel in."





All that I don't know

Paralyzes me

But somehow I keep going on

Just settling for this mediocrity

And I wonder if god is trying to make a fool out of me







There are legends who die

And I've never even heard their songs

And there are heroes of a generation

Whose poetry is not on my shelf

And my soliloquies would make Shakespeare

Turn over in his grave

And voyagers would forbid me

To join in their crusade







I wish I could fight against Ali and win

I wish I could write with Joni Mitchell's pen

Sail the Atlantic on a paddle boat

I wish I could smile like Bobby de Niro

I wish that the lotto was the number of my telephone

I wish I could sing a duet with Bono

'Cause I don't want to sound like

Anyone else, you know

I just wanna take you under my spell

Excuse me for saying

What I know down deep is my sin

But maybe I'll fool everybody into thinking

I know just what I am doing
