Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dear Richard,
I wish that I could stay in the picture
I know you wrote this part for me
The man you thought that I could be in pre-production
I wish that nothing would have changed
We talked so perfectly together
When the light was strange
But in the light of day
We discovered we could not sustain the ruse
[Chorus]
What else can you say when the life
That you choose
Gives you the blues
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Dear Oscar
I need to find someone who can play
A boxer with a fast pathetic smile
And a voice like honey
And I don't care about the money
I can feel the pressure how it's boiling up in Burbank
Now I've lost my muse
[Chorus]
What else can you say when the life that
You choose
Gives you the blues
[Bridge]
It's not enough, it's never enough
Just to keep pretending
I could die on the street a thousand
Times and never get your perfect ending
I know it will be a beautiful, spectacular, triumphant
If they ever get the cash to push it through
[Chorus]
What else can you say when the life
That you choose
Gives you the blues
[Outro]
