[00:03.26]And everyone here I need your ear so be cool for a few
[00:08.48]
[00:09.23]I feel a funny emotion a negative notion
[00:12.25]
[00:12.78]A tear in the air an unseen stare
[00:15.38]If I'm wrong then I'm wrong
[00:17.98]
[00:18.49]What I say
[00:22.55]
[00:25.82]Senors and senoras

[00:28.60]We know that they know the score
[00:30.51]It's there at the core always been
[00:34.28]And we could give it up all nice
[00:36.73]Or put it on cold ice
[00:38.22]While that could suffice
[00:39.22]I give these dreams up in hell  ring a bell
[00:43.34]
[00:44.14]What I say
[00:50.76]Somebody's got to pay for the piano

[01:20.46]You know you knew it would
[01:21.64]Be hard to play such a bad card
[01:24.11]Lower your guard to unseen harm 'cos you're scarred
[01:28.32]I can see
[01:29.08]
[01:29.90]And the people that need
[01:31.72]You say the couldn't read you

[02:34.09]But nothing good was and
[02:35.85]What should or could be does what it can
[02:40.21]It's a quiet and sad choice you hear in your own voice
