I watched the mighty skyline fall

I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies, all I want is someone to believe.

When I first started I didn't know a lot about the job, so I kinda had to figure it out by wire, ya know? It was hit and miss, I made mistakes, and fortunately I was able to recover from most of 'em. But I promised myself if I ever get to a point where I can help somebody that's trying to learn how to do this, that I would try to do that.

Why should I worry, why should I care? And even when I cross that line, I got street savoire faire.

Everybody is different. Some writers can write reams of great books and then J. D. Salinger wrote just a few. Beethoven wrote nine symphonies. They were all phenomenal. Mozart wrote some 40 symphonies, and they were all phenomenal. That doesn't mean Beethoven was a lesser writer, it's just some guys are capable of more productivity, some guys take more time.

You look so polished from your hair down to your toes, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose.

If you could only hear what I dream.
