He says Phoenix
Pegasus
Grecian urn
Midwest turn
So much to learn
Together
She says our souls
Are warm
Lives
Reborn
From hearts
That were torn
Before before perform performs
Together
Together they say
A breath renewed
Everyday
With you
Our arms
Are moved
We are not alone
Not unloved
Together
Our souls are warm
Lives reborn
From hearts that were torn
Before
Breath renewed
Everyday with you
Our arms our hold
We are not alone
Together
We’re ready.
I want you to be you
Don’t change
Cause you think I might like you to be different
I fell in love with you
I don’t want you blond
I don’t want you not to swear, not to swep
It’s you I fell in love with
Your turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational moves
Well maybe that could go
But everything else, I want you to be you
I want you to dance whenever you feel it
Up by the bandstand
In the parking lot
Up on the table
Well, maybe the table can go
But I want you to be you
I love what you wear cause you’re wearing it
That shawl
That clinging dress
The svelte black jacket
Those leopard capris
Well, maybe not the capris
But I want you to be you
I love what you eat
You want yogurt? you got yogurt!
Papaya? it’s yours!
Chewing gum? chew away!
I just want you to be you…
Spit out the gum, it doesn’t work…
When you sleep, you’re the most beautiful
In the moonlight, your soft skin glows
Your hair scroll on the pillow a vision
The murmuring breath, the slight snore
The slight snore…
I want you to be you
Has been
Has been
You talkin’ to me?
You talkin’ to me?
You callin’ me, has been?
What’d you say your name is?
Jack
Never done jack
Glad to meet ya
Who’s your friend?
Dick
Don’t say dick
Whaddya know?
And you friend, what’s your handle?
Don
Two thumbs Don
Riding on their armchairs
They dream of wealth and fame
Fear is their companion
Nintendo is their game
Never done jack and two thumbs Don
And sidekick don’t say dick
We’ll laugh at others failures
Though they have not done shit
I’ve heard of you
The ready-made connecting with the ever-ready
Yeah
The never was talking about still trying
I got it
Forever bitter gossiping about never say die
May I inquire what you’ve been doing mister?
Jack
Never done Jack
And you partner, what’s the News of the World, Dick?
I don’t say dick
Don, of all the people you must be the Tattler
Two thumbs up
What are you afraid of?
Failure?
So am I
Has been implies failure
Not so
Has been is history
Has been was
Has been might again
BILL: Let’s go. Ready? From the top…
BILL: My favorite shows on TV have twelve minutes of advertising. I can’t get behind that kind of time!
ROLLINS: Eat quickly. Drive faster. Make more money now! I can’t get behind that.
BILL: My kids say: He said to me, and I’m like… and he’s like… and she’s like…
ROLLINS: It’s all… He’s all… She’s all…
BILL: I can’t get behind that kind of like, English!
BILL: That’ll be six to eight weeks before delivery.
ROLLINS: The rising oceans, the warming temperatures!
BILL: The dying polar bears — no, tigers — in fifty years!
ROLLINS: Rising poison in the air and water!
BILL: I can’t understand why the price of gas suddenly rises when oil goes up…
ROLLINS: …but takes months to go down long after oil falls!
BILL: I can’t get behind any of that!
BILL: I can’t get behind the Gods, who are more vengeful, angry, and dangerous if you don’t believe in them!
ROLLINS: Why can’t all these Gods just get along? I mean, they’re omnipotent and omnipresent, what’s the problem?
BILL: What’s the problem?
BILL: What about the men who say ‘Do as I do. Believe in what I say, for your own good, or I’ll kill you!’ I can’t get behind that!
ROLLINS: I can’t get behind that! Everybody knows everything about all of us!
BILL: That’s too much knowledge!
BOTH: I can’t get behind that!
BILL: Yeah! And what about student drivers using my streets to learn? If you learn to play the drums you got to go to a studio! Go to a parking lot, for God’s sake! Why are you jeopardizing my life? I can’t get behind a student driver!
ROLLINS: I can’t behind a driver who drives like a student driver! If you’re going to drive an urban assault vehicle then get off the phone and keep your eyes on the road!
ROLLINS: Lifetime guarantee?
BILL: Who’s lifetime? Not mine! I haven’t that much time left. Let’s make it yours. Everybody’s got a longer life than me!
BILL: The leaf blowers, is there anything more futile?
ROLLINS: Car alarms.
BILL: Clap off.
ROLLINS: Clap on.
BILL: Spam.
ROLLINS: Size matters.
BILL: No, it doesn’t!
ROLLINS: Yes, it does!
BILL: No, it doesn’t.
ROLLINS: Yes, it does!
BILL: No, it doesn’t!
ROLLINS: Yes, it does!
BILL: No, it doesn’t! No, it doesn’t!
ROLLINS: Yes, it does! Yes, it does!
BILL: My phone rings!
ROLLINS: Make millions in minutes!
BILL: It’s a computer!
ROLLINS: Lose inches in hours!
BILL: Leave me the Hell alone!
ROLLINS: Eat more! Spend less!
BILL: The Colonel is breakdancing! Give me a break!
ROLLINS: Credit terms raised!
BILL: I can’t get behind any of that!
BILL: I can’t get behind so-called singers that can’t carry a tune, get paid for talking, how easy is that? Well, maybe I could get behind that!
ROLLINS: Well, I can’t! If you have to fix it with a computer: quantized, pitch corrected, and overly inspected, then you can’t do it, and I can’t get behind that!
BILL: I — can’t — get behind — a fat ass!
ROLLINS: Yeah, Bill, can you turn around and do one more?
BILL: Always can do one more.
ROLLINS: Let’s hit it!
I have saved the world in the movies
So naturally there’s folks who think I must know what to know
But just because you’ve seen me on your TV
Doesn’t mean I’m any more enlightened than you
And while there’s a part of me
In that guy you’ve seen
Up there on that screen
I am so much more
And I wish I knew the things you think I do
I would change this world for sure
But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel
Sorry to disappoint you
But I’m real
I’d love to help the world and all its problems
But I’m an entertainer, and that’s all
So the next time there’s an asteroid or a natural disaster
I’m flattered that you thought of me
But I’m not the one to call
And while there’s a part of me
In that guy you’ve seen
Up there on that screen
I am so much more
And I wish I knew the things you think I do
I would change this world for sure
But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel
Sorry to disappoint you
But I’m real
