I want a life as bright as these chords I play
I want to live my life in a musical way
Birds singing, a milkman whistling, a fat happy maid
Pancake-flipping oh yeah
I go to work against reality
Battling the world with my bare feelings
My heart never leads me astray
Just as long as I continue singing
I'm playing the part of an underachiever
In an out of town run that goes on forever
You could be the disaffected lover
Whose heart swells on an orchestra cue
Dancing our way past the fear
That anything wonderful's not real
Harmonizing on a melody
That worms its way into your dreams
Spotlights, pink tights, alcoholics
Costume, scenery, nervous breakdowns
We're switching scenes like hand puppets
Up until the curtain comes down
