Yesterday, I turned twenty-three The date didn't mean that much to me Then I started adding figures up in my head It seems the cost of dreaming's left me in the red Because of alcohol I've shared sixteen beds There's a five year reunion Hanging over my head At least eleven thousand people Think I'm somethin' I'm not And the courage to let them down Isn't something I've still got Sometimes I wanna cheat, but I don't I wanna quit, but I won't...cause I made this bed...

You can't afford to live like...this... (Yes, we can! Yes, we can!) You can't be dumb enough to dream so...big... (Yes, we can! Yes, we can!) Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees No, I'm not done yet... No-no, I'm only getting started...
