Timbuk 3 - Big Shot In The Dark lyrics

You used to be a candle in the wind Now you're a big shot in the dark You used to think that love was the answer Now it's just another big question mark You used to believe in the power of music And all that revolutionary stuff Back when money was the root of all evil Back before you suddenly grew up You used to laugh at the men on the chessboard All those little pawns wanting to be king You used to say "I refuse to play that game" Now you think that winning is everything You used to feel like a babe in the woods Livin' out of your little gunny sack You used to be a cry in the wilderness Now you're just another lumberjack You had it right the first time You used to love swimming upstream Now you like to go with the flow Take a ride on the big waterslide And never mind the rocks Or the whirlpool down below You used to be a candle in the wind Now you're a big shot in the dark You used to think that love was the answer Now it's just another big question mark You used to believe in the power of music And all that revolutionary stuff Back when money was the root of all evil Now you just can't seem to get enough You had it right the first time
