Selfish Again -

I wrote a note to Ray

And said don’t come round today

You know I hate to have to aim to please

The jungle days are gone

I’m feeling like King Kong

And maybe you’re a little bit like me

I know

We won’t find it if it doesn’t show

At least until we learn to keep our expectations low

I cross my fingers twice

And throw out all advice

And someday I might lose it all that way

The room is made of wire

The telephone’s on fire

With open eyes a scare comes into play

And I do

What appears to be the thing to do

That accidentally sacrifice the many for the few

It’s good when it’s good and it’s bad when it’s bad

And sometime it goes nowhere

It’s good when it’s good and it’s bad when it’s bad

And it might seem like I care

But I’ll be selfish again

Like the weather

Well Ray gave me these lines

And learned a few of mine

And we worked hard to hear the angels sing, sing

It’s up and then it’s down

But he never liked the ground

And now he isn’t careful with his wings

I don’t see

Why he had to go depend on me

He tells me all the time that all he wants is to be free

Well it’s good when it’s good and it’s bad when it’s bad

And sometime it goes nowhere

It’s good when it’s good and it’s bad when it’s bad

And it might seem like we care

But we’ll all be selfish again

Again and again and again and again and again and again

Again and again and again and again and again and again
