I have to face the world again
Pass the bedroom mirror
Ignorance is bliss they say
It couldn't be much clearer
Imagining what might have been
Thinking it could still be
All the lost years in between
I'm still a sucker for a dream
You might be an oil tycoon
You might be a cop cartoon
You might be a Gershwin juke
You might be, but you're not
It's a
It's a
You might be an eagle's foal
You might be a nation's foal
You might be the Albert Hall
You might be, but you're not
Play the fool and act the clown
Impress your friends and neighbors
Not so good when you come down
With nothing for your labors
You could have been a movie star
You could have been a hero
You could have won a bridge too far
The best you get is no cigar
You might be an eagle's foal
You might be a nation's foal
You might be the Albert Hall
You might be, but you're not
The best you get is no cigar
You might be an eagle's foal



You might be an eagle's foal
You might be the Albert Hall
You are not your own
You might be an oil tycoon
You might be the cop cartoon
You might be the Gershon Jew
You might be, but you're not
You might be a needle's ball
You might be a nation's fall
You might be the Albert Paul
You might be, but you're not
No, no, you might be a needle's ball
You might be a nation's fall
You might be the Albert Paul
You might be, but you're not
