If I were the betting kind I bet you thought the easy life   Was the one you thought you'd live by   And all you had to do was decide   A swimming pool size   Well, you're right      I wish there was an ending to spoil   So as long as I'm thinking   How about a great tragedy?   Where I imagine fire and glass and taillights blinking   We'll see.      And if I was the betting kind I bet you thought the easy life   Was the one you thought you'd live by   All you had to do was decide   A swimming pool size   Well, you're right      I wish there was an ending to spoil   So as long as I'm thinking   About a horrible scene   Where I can watch your hopes and your dreams   Just blow into pieces   Before me?      Is there something to learn   Or something to see?   Because nothing to lose   Is not nothing to be      Haven't you   Heard the messages   Haven't you   Read the passages   There's a ghost who   Is going to haunt me for all my life   I'll bet he never touches you      I guess the differences   Between us 3-   They make our open books awful hard to read      Maybe I've   Been painting you   With all the wrong brushes too   Maybe you   Really know   What too much is, well...   Well maybe you do      I wish there was an ending to spoil   So as long as I'm thinking   How about a great tragedy?   Where I imagine fire and glass and taillights blinking   We'll see.      Because nothing to lose is not nothing to be   Because nothing to lose is not nothing to me
