There should be music
And we should be fools
Who dream of the next big thing
At the edge of a wishing pool
Have I let you down
Did I miss my move
Am I pledged to a fiction
While I'm chained to this truth
I thought love was a membrane
That stretched and grew with you
And we were a bridge
Always reaching for something new
I know we're always pretending
But daylight is up and I'm tired of contending
I know we're always pretending
But daylight is up and I'm tired of contending
I saw red flags
But I saw a way through
When you had a dream
I made it feel true
I heard the rules
They were written too soon
I'd hold my breath
When the wave crashed I didn't move
If there was a wire
We'd walk it to our doom
But we swung up so high we are still coming down
You see what you've got when you float with the crowd
I know we're always pretending
But daylight is up and I'm tired of contending
I know we're always pretending
But daylight is up and I'm tired of contending
I want to paint like Pablo
Want to sneer like Brando
Want to love like Sappho
Want to rule like Nero
Shout like Pacino
I want to fight like Zorro
I want to dress like Jackie O
I want to spend like Daddy-O
I want to paint like Pablo
I want a name like Ringo
Live on like Plato
I want to charm like Charo
Paint like Pablo
Drink like Borracho
Pick up like 00(7)
Fly like Apollo
