I can't remember the time, the year, my name
But so far I'm doing pretty good at your game
You can dance all around me for days
But I can still read the lines in your face

You know a blank wall can give as much as it takes
Look at it for long enough, see all the expressions it makes
But a blank wall's expressions are transparent and true
Unlike people who make up theirs to lie about whatever they do

So you said we're in the big leagues now
And baby, baby, baby, I love you and how
Well, baby, baby, baby, you can give up this whore
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're not fooling me any more

It's really goodbye this time
It's really goodbye
It's really goodbye this time
One of us had to fly some time

Small steps, small steps, one and then two
They say I can't have it all so I'll have to make do
With this shit you're throwing at me way over my head
Sometimes they say dead should mean dead

Well go ahead, pitch it, give it all you've got
I'll tell you one thing, honey, I am not
And never will be one to play for the crowd
But this time, this time, I'm gonna say it aloud

So you said we're in the big leagues now
Baby, baby, baby, I love you and how
Well, baby, baby, baby, you can give up this whore
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're not fooling me any more

And baby, baby, baby we're in the big leagues now
And I'm coming at the world, so you'd better look out
My spirit will not break for you and your friends
Baby, baby, baby, this is where your little game ends

And the world kept spinning on
Yeah the world kept spinning
The world kept spinning on
Once you were gone
