One life is a timely gift
+
Who knew it would make him sick?
+
Half-way when he found his list of life-long goals,
+
And now regret sinks in like feet
+
In mud but not so deep,
+
And at forty with muddy teeth,
+
The list is still clean
+
And the piano plays without his fingers
+
It's too late, he tears the list apart
+
Paper piles up in stacks
+
At a desk he regrets is his habitat
+
In an empty house full of furniture
+
that he sits on nightly watching TV,
+
A pastime that seems to fit
+
He's a master of time management
+
At what point do we set aside the important things in your life?
+
The piano plays
+
And he has nothing to do with it
+
It's too late, he tears the list apart (apart... apart...)
+
Entertain us!
+
Play 'Let It Be'!
+
Where were you last week when the curtain called you?
+
We're all restless
+
And ready to sing,
+
So play anything that we know the words to!
+
Play 'Brick'!
+
Play Queen!
+
Play 'Bennie and the Jets'!
+
Play the theme from Cheers!
+
'Hey, wait a second here
+
I'm smoking and drinking and after I'm done
+
I'll play what I want!
+
I'll play what I want!'
+
And as the crowd starts to scream,
+
He realized it was just a dream
+
('Someone to take care of me...')
+
