Mr. Smith, of course it is so nice to finally meet you You know I'm on your side And I'll make sure your demons don't defeat you The sun is shining, it's a warm September fifth The possibilities are endless, Mr. Smith Mr. Smith, now, this is just a friendly word of warning The night can bring epiphanies But she'll try to pin you down, come morning She'll produce the ledger of your love, a monolith Better get yourself back to Boston, Mr. Smith I used to be a little bit like you Much less respected, but bad timing with a lady, too What will you do Mr. Smith, art is like a cruel red-haired mistress She'll give you what you want But then she'll ring your wife up when she's listless, and Tell her all the stories of the people you've been with But you can just erase and start all over, Mr. Smith Mr. Smith, don't you know there is no magic potion To get your life on track Or to put your poetry in motion, when Every word you write comes out looking like a hieroglyph Will you just admit you need her, Mr. Smith Now here we go again, can't you come clean You scratch out clever lines that she's grown tired of reading between You both know what I mean Oh Smith, I hope that you don't mind I call you mister By now you've gotta realize I really only want to know your sister And if I can't have her, I'll just perpetuate the myth That all of this was just to help you, Mr. Smith
