Steve McQueen's Lament

"What's the use?" you said so softly "Static on the phone I fight for this and hope for that And when I'm all alone The whole damn thing starts collapsing in All of the weight pressing down all over again" "It makes me bitter Makes me bitter Makes me bitter at the whole world And if I'm honest with myself I don't know which direction to run" Sometimes "The Great Escape" Or "Roman Holiday" I'll be Steve McQueen Or Gregory Peck, ok And you'll be Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" on a window sill Sometimes without you here there's such an aweful chill "It makes me bitter Makes me bitter Makes me bitter at the whole world And if I'm honest with myself I don't know which direction to run"
