about

You know this person. We all know this person.

lyrics

I have never blamed you

For being what you're not

But I can't keep on saving you

Every time you think you're caught.

You say the truth is boring

Life is fiction if it's fine

But there's something that you never

Chose to mind:

When you create yourself

Don't leave anyone behind.

You made the rounds of gin joints

And you talked like Lady Brett

And all your phrases flowed from books

That you never did quite get.

Sometimes you were the party

And you fooled them every time

But there's something that you never

Chose to mind:

When you create yourself

Don't leave anyone behind.

What'd you get from all those books you read?

Is there anything of you left in your head?

I recall when you thought Plato

Was Mickey Mouse's friend -

So you weren't so bright

But you sure were more fun then.

So you wandered through Pamplona, Spain

And got drunk in Paris, France

You sat in cafes when it rained

And got laid at every chance.

You tell me you're a writer

But I've yet to see a line

And here's something that you never

Chose to mind:

When you create yourself

Don't leave anyone behind.

I think it's high time you

Were leaving me behind.
