Lyrics:
Once upon a midnight dearie, I woke with something in my head.
I couldn't escape the memory of a phone call and of what you said.
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift,
I could not believe my eyes. When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend,
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies. Yeah, humor me and tell me lies.

And I'll lie too and say I don't mind. And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear.  Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully.

But you. -  Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up. When all it does is slow me down.

Shake me and my confidence.  About a great many things.
But I've been there I can see it cower, Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings.
Of a bad play where the heroes are right, and nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing, "hey babe, let's keep in touch. Hey baby let's keep in touch".

But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line.

But you, -  Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up. When all it does is slow me down.

Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking and I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical but I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full.  Yeah I will drink it and always be full

Oh I like coffee and I like tea.  I'd like to be able to enter a final plea.
I still got this dream that you just can't shake.
I love you to the point you can no longer take. Well all right. Okay, so be that way.
I hope and pray that there's something left to say

But you - Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?  When all it does is slow me down.

Oh yeah -  Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?  When all it does is slow me down.
