  My so-called friends
              
  Where are they now
                   
  I guess a love that bends
                               
  Isn't worth much anyhow        how

              
 They come and go
              
 They talk their shit
                          
 And when I really need to know
                          
 All I get is spit in my eye

              
 But the less I know the better
             
 The faster I go jet-setter
                   
 I chase around the world
                                   
 But I never get the girl

                   
 And I don't let it bother me
              
 Or cut out any part of me
               
 That's been bruised
        
 And refused
        
 And misused
        
 Or confused ahhhh

                   
 Some people want to know
              
 All about my history
                   
 And no one seems to care
                               
 That none of it's noteworthy

               
 But I talked so much as it were
                      
 That I made the local news
                          
 The boy has got the magic touch
                             
 And he can't ever lose

              
 My present situation
                
 Is no longer inspiration
                
 My precious generation
                 
 Is killing their time
                
 And behind their backs
                        
 I'm slipping thru the cracks, yeah


                     
 And it doesn't really matter if
                  
 You won't have any part of this
              
 My scheme I've devised
                    
 Where my team is disguised
                          
 And we seem like ordinary guys
          
 But surprise!

              
 I'm hardly phased any
           
 By your classless ways
                                      
 It takes more than that to amaze me
            
 These days

           
 I'm so messed up
                      
 Never know what time it is
                        
 Jet lag's the price to pay
                       
 To play show biz         kid

                
 And I stayed up late
           
 The night before
                              
 I slept the whole way on the plane
                                
 And now my neck is sore


Instrumental:              

Come on now!

              
 Da da da da da da dum
                  
 da daaaaaa
    
 da da da...

Repeat three times, then end on a C#
