You Might

off to face the world again
past the bathroom mirror
ignorance is bliss, they say
couldn't be much clearerimaging what might have been
thinking it could still be
all the lost years in between
still a sucker for a dreamyou might be an oil tycoon
you might be a Cobb cartoon
you might be a Gershwin tune
you might be but you're not
you might be a nations fall
you might be an eagles call
you might be the Albert Hall
you might be but you're notplay the fool and act the clown
impress your friends and neighbours
not so good when you come down
with nothing for your laboursyou could've been a movie star
you could've been a hero
you could have won a bridge too far
the best you get is no cigaryou might be an oil tycoon
you might be a Cobb cartoon
you might be a Gershwin tune
you might be but you're notyou are what you are
you see what you seeyou might be an oil tycoon
you might be a Cobb cartoon
you might be a Gershwin tune
you might be but you're not
you might be a nations fall
you might be an eagles call
you might be the Albert Hall
you might be but you're not
