Tell me a story, my ears are open
Paint me a picture, my eyes are peeled
Read me the numbers
I'm felling lucky today
Pour me another, make it a long one
Do something crazy, I wanna see
Read me the want ads
I'm feeling plucky today
I've been around for far too long
Still I don't seem to know my mind
Don't ever ask me what went wrong
Don't answer questions of that kind
Tell me story, and leave it open
No happy endings, I'll only cry
Then leave me the money,
I'm feeling better today.
Buy me a winner, one I can live on
Find me an answer that I've never heard
Hold me forever
I feel so hollow today
I've been around for oh so long
Still I can't figure out the end
No use in asking what went wrong
Don't wanna have to play pretend
Just tell me a story and as it's fading
Ever so quietly, I'll slip away
And leave you forever
To make what you will of this play.
It's only a story
But, oh, how it swept us away.
