The day I came
It rained Champagne
The day's that changed
You're not so strange
I am, and I can
Even though some nights
I'm just another drunken man

Got to go, can't really stay
Watch me take a chance
And and dance someone and go away

Taking my time with my women and my wine
I haven't got a hope
But I don't need a shrine
Sometimes the lines
Take a week or two
Breaking my pen over someone like you

'Cause you'll say something simple
That touches me inside
That shows I've been gone
But I'll be back in a while
'Cause I've been and I've seen
And you're losing your style
And you simply can't see
Why I'd rather be me

Talk of deals, not what you feel
It's not what you want
It's not even real

No pain, now there's no gain
I hope you realise
That you can't afford to stay the same
You're alright, there's no real bite
'Cause you've gotten what you want
Now there's no real need to fight

Please don't stay, in vain
'Cause I could be right there
If only you could feel the same

Sat on the throne of your safe little life
Two dog's and a cat
And a safe little wife
Sometimes with wine, just a time or two
You'll look at me, and I'll look at you

'Cause you'll say something simple
That touches me inside
That shows you're not gone
You're just lost for a while
Maybe trapped in a web
Of your chosen lifestyle
And you simply can't see
Why I'd rather be me
