I must be almost old enough to hear the bad news Tell me now We can drink to Minneapolis and Vegas It may be an almost absolute relief for us On our way down And everyone around I'll walk around the city snapping pictures Uninvolved And wasting no one's hopes for me No one left to look at me as if I've let them down No longer sounding like I'm trying to change the key I'm going to be the picture of agreeability They'll call me the picture of agreeability Get that original thought away from me
