I thought that I could make it
I thought that I could get by
With the right brothers at the wrong time
And that they never, just plain never, was gonna fly
You thought that you were gonna shake it
You thought that you were so sly
With a couple of rich friends behind your vaseline lens
And your hand on the shunt, leave the b****** dry
When I forget, when I can't remember I
Call on someone who knows me
Someone who knows me, someone who knows how I feel
Someone who knows me, someone who can show me
How I come out on top of this deal
Up to the highest star, down to the hotel bar
To find someone that knows me
We thought that we were gonna fake it
We thought we'd go on living a lie
But it turns out oftentimes the fire burns out
Long before the ghosts have said goodbye
When I forget, when I can't remember I
Call on someone who knows me
Someone who knows me, someone who knows how I feel
Someone who knows me, someone who can show me
How I come out on top of this deal
Up to the highest star, down to the hotel bar
To find someone that knows me
Up to the highest star, down to the hotel bar
