He thought he was the king of America
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine
Now I try hard not to become hysterical
But I'm not sure if I am laughing or crying
I wish that I could push a button
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this hurting feeling disappear
Like it was common sense
It was a fine idea at the time
Now it's a brilliant mistake（Now it's a brilliant mistake）
She said that she was working for the ABC News
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use
Like her artificial laughter, her mementos of affairs
"Oh," I said, "I see you know him—
Isn't that very fortunate for you?"
And she showed me his calling card
He came third or fourth, and there were more than one or two
He was a fine idea at the time
Now he's a brilliant mistake（Now it's a brilliant mistake）
He thought he was the king of America
But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams
A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals
I wish that I could push a button
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this loving feeling disappear
Like it was common sense
I was a fine idea at the time
Now I'm a brilliant mistake（Now it's a brilliant mistake）
I was a fine idea at the time
Now I'm a brilliant mistake（Now it's a brilliant mistake）

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the dark?

I would have sworn that her name...
Cheap cut satin and bad perfume

Teased up by a strip cartoon
Laughing up your sleeve
Sniggering in your beer

That I should be singing its praises
Just to catch my senses as they slip away
But my sentences and phrases

You never asked me what I wanted.
You only asked me why.
I never thought that so much trouble was restin' on my reply,

Everything seems so tranquil
Home movies with no subtitles
Don't you wish you knew what they were sayin'
When the film keeps playin', playin' ?
Oh, he...
Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns ...
Don't start me talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right
Called careers information
