There You Go

If you think that light's too pretty for you

You should step outside your skin for a moment or two

Desert winds come howling down empty boulevards

Blowing like sick minstrels when the dust is too hot

You thought you were a stranger in your opportunity clothes

But the sun makes it all hazy and it doesn't half show

You thought you were an actor with an amusing part

You danced the bossa nova with your celluloid heart

You looked into the mirror and laughed at your face

Someone else was watching and handling your case

You think that it's easy with the drugs and guitars

You like to be backstage and in the star's car

There you go

Summertime, oblivious through noise and the heat

Crowded room where you can't find your feet

All the seals are broken at a quarter to two

But you don't even recognize who you're taking to

When they said you're ready you took a swing

But it was empty, you didn't hit a thing

When they said you're ready you hung on tight

But balance is elusive as you run down the night

There you go

Don't throw away your tickets yet, there's probably more

You just never know what you're hanging in for

Everybody told you you're the one in the know

So that's the way, let's do it, there you go

There you go
