the very special day

man, I wish I was someone else
for just one day
not myself
I'd succeed like no one else
because I wouldn't be in my way
think of a!l the fun I'd have
my sad old life would be a laugh
I'd have to take a photograph
of that very special day

there I am
as a normal person
doing normal things
like normal people do
normal just like you
there I am
as a happy guy
with family and friends
no reason to pretend
too bad it has to end
too bad it has to end

I know this sounds self pitying
but it's really not
my nerves are shot
where's the coffee pot
I need my medicine quick
man, all I need is just one day
to mastermind the blues away
I'm sorry to have to run away
but I think I'm gonna be sick

there I am
as a normal person
doing normal things
like normal people do
normal just like you
there I am
as a happy guy
with family and friends
no reason to pretend
too bad it has to end
too bad it has to end
too bad
