lyrics
is it my good name or my good fortune,
that weeds me in and kicks me out?
I'm a sucker for the brilliant things
but I've no real use for money, I just want to be somebody
I was a fool once, only yesterday-
I married the city, if she would forgive me,
for all that I had to say
I'm not good on paper,
from when I lost my mind-
your strings held me tightly,
and moved my heart slightly
but it wasn't what you hoped to find
I sat there naked in the pouring sun
when I say it, I don't mind if you laugh,
but I still believe that I might be someone
you can't outgrow it, it'll follow you wherever you go
you've got drive, don't blow it
this fool will give you the world.
I was a fool once, only yesterday-
give me up for the things you've got to say
is it my good name or my good fortune,
that weeds me in and kicks me out?
I'm a sucker for the brilliant things
but I don't want to have a use for money, I just want to be somebody
you can't outgrow it, it'll follow you wherever you go
