lyrics

Diamonds in the sky from some song that Lennon penned
I'm swapping at the hock shop for a buck or two to spend
I'm stretching my dead presidents and bending my thin dimes
To get a fitting gift without committing any crimes

A hundred times the footage plays
I fast and pray a dozen days
And all I am is looking strange- it doesn't change a thing
I've got no nerve to bring
Lucy what I bought in my second shot at saying "Bye"

Are you plastered on the funny page, dramatic black and white?
Is it hard to breathe beneath those articles they write?
If you will give your guidance, I will drop the nickel in
Just prop by my piano and the session shall begin

Remember when I made that face?
Oops- another girl and place
But if the worlds were rearranged, it wouldn't change a thing
I've got no nerve to bring
Lucy what I bought in my second shot at saying "Bye"

Lucy what I bought is my second shot at saying "Bye"
Lucy what I bought in my second shot at saying "Bye"
"Bye"

Well, Desilu Productions couldn't do a better job
You helped this hapless loser change to such a lucky slob
You've made a mess of "Babaloo" and poor, old Mr. Mertz
Who never gets nostalgic 'til he gets some brand new shirts

The hurt he knows, I know it now
It's not those old clothes, anyhow
It's the 'me' those seams surrounded when you last were near
The end of fifth grade year

A mute, you know- but still sincere
I had the sequence planned
But you can't understand

Lucy what I bought in my second shot at saying
Lucy what I bought in my second shot at saying
Oh, Lucy what I bought in my second shot at saying "Bye"
