Run-Around-Blues Traveler

[00:19]Once upon a midnight dearie [00:22]I woke with something in my head [00:26]I couldn't escape the memory [00:29]Of a phone call and of what you said [00:32]Like a game show contestant with a parting gift [00:35]I could not believe my eyes [00:38]When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend [00:41]Who needs to humor me and tell me lies [00:44]Yeah humor me and tell me lies [00:48]And I'll lie too and say I don't mind [00:51]And as we seek so shall we find [00:54]And when you're feeling open I'll still be here [00:57]But not without a certain degree of fear [01:01]Of what will be with you and me [01:03]I still can see things hopefully [01:06]But you [01:09]Why you wanna give me a run-around [01:12]Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up [01:16]When all it does is slow me down [01:23]And shake me and my confidence [01:26]About a great many things [01:29]But I've been there I can see it cower [01:32]Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings [01:35]Of a bad play where the heroes are right [01:38]And nobody thinks or expects too much [01:42]And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights [01:44]Singing hey babe let's keep in touch [01:47]Hey baby let's keep in touch [01:51]But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me [01:54]And show me all the things no one else can see [01:57]So what you feel bes mine as well [02:00]And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell [02:03]What's yours and mine the fishing's fine [02:07]And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line [02:09]But you [02:12]Why you wanna give me a run-around [02:15]Is it a sure-fire wa to speed things up [02:19]When all it does is slow me down [02:44]Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking [02:47]And I've got some news for you [02:51]It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop [02:54]And there ain't a whole lot that you can do [02:57]Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder [03:00]Perhaps I've grown a little cynical [03:04]But I know no matter what the waitress brings [03:06]I shall drink in and always be full [03:10]My cup shall always be full [03:14]Oh I like coffee [03:15]And I like tea [03:16]I'd like to be able to enter a final plea [03:19]I still got this dream that you just can't shake [03:22]I love you to the point you can no longer take [03:25]Well all right okay [03:27]So be that way [03:29]I hope and pray [03:30]That there's something left to say [03:32]But you [03:34]Why you wanna give me a run-around [03:38]Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up [03:41]When all it does is slow me down [03:44]But you [03:47]Why you wanna give me a run-around [03:50]Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up [03:54]When all it does is slow me down
