You know this quiet desperation
doesn't suit everyone
i know it's much easier said than done
but it likes me it likes me
if i wanted to be famous i'd have shot someone
if i wanted in the papers i'd have kidnapped some tycoon's son
you know you can't take it with you when you go
that's why the teenage tv stars end up robbing video stores
the setting sun reminds how far we've come
the setting sun reminds me how when i was young
how they left and how it stung
but i'd do it all over again now that it's done
i work the sidewalks all around the stadium
i look and dress just like everyone
what i do is tend the flowers down at the nursery
i fix yer cars neath a weeping willow tree
the setting sun reminds me how far we've come
the setting sun reminds me how when i was young
how they left and how it stung
but i'd do it all over again now that it's done
if i wanted to be famous i'd have shot someone
if i wanted in the papers i'd have kidnapped some tycoon's son
just like mr bickle with his cufflinks shaped like guns
had any of ya ever heard of a squeaky fromme
the setting sun reminds me how far we've come
the setting sun remind me how when i was young
how they left and how it stung
but i'd do it all over again now that's done
