You Tell Me Where

  • Take a breather, they came for Caesar
    But I don't think he's here, Desiderata
    Is that your name now? Glad you came out

    You've proved your poison is more than noise
    And the joy's addictive although restrictive
    Fair baby beware, I'm not always square

    We're old friends from the last call
    Searching a glass for
    Some famous last words
    Learned from the master

    With all your shit-talking, all your blue stocking
    Have to spellcheck, you want some hell? Check
    Direct your own pace, you need your own place

    So you tell me where to be, I'll be there
    A little seasick, I feel you falling
    Napkins crawled in me, I'm all in

    We're old friends from the last call
    Searching a glass for
    Some famous last words
    Learned from the master

    You see my range, you could change me if you wanted to
    Just rearrange a few pieces and run
    If there's no way but the high road, save me
    If there's an easy street leave me, don't leave me

    I think I could change you, become what you want me
    To think we could finally be done
    I think I could change you, become what you want me
    To think we could finally be done

    So you tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there

    So you tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there

    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there

    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there

    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    You tell me where to be, I'll be there
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Writer/s: Carl Allan Newman
