And I said, “What about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?”  
She said, “I think I remember the film  
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it”  
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got”

So save your breath, don’t tell me how it all comes out, somehow I think I know.  
I’ve heard that tear-stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.

Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star,  
And everybody’s in movies, it doesn’t matter who you are.

They’re gonna put me in the movies  
They’re gonna make a big star out of me  
We’ll make a film about a man that’s sad and lonely  
And all I gotta do is act naturally

Data in my head  
Surfing on the network  
Part of me is dead  
Every Home is Wired  
Swimming in the circuit  
Somebody has expired  
This world will be the future  
Every home is wired

Dear Simone, sorry for the wait  
I’ve seen your pics, you’re looking great  
I’m all alone, dying for a date  
I think we match, it must be fate

Dear OL, I feel you are the one  
What’s your name? Where are you from?  
I’m in love, though we never met  
Looking for clues, I search the net

I was living for a dream,  
Loving for a moment  
Taking on the world,  
That was just my style  
Now I look into your eyes  
I can see forever,  
The search is over  
You were with me all the while

Well you can search high and low if you want  
But you won’t find me  
(Look for me baby)  
Well, you search the mountains  
Look in the sea  
Look all around the world  
But you won’t find a love  
A love like mine

Spring is here, oh, yes, Spring is here,

You can hear them falling every day  
They’re Hitler’s tears  
Just open up the newspaper (Hitler’s tears)  
You can hide, there’s no escape from Hitler’s tears–  
Just what makes the Fuehrer blue?  
He’s crying for you

What will it take to make you happy  
What will it take to stop your whining  
What will it take to make you amscray  
What will it take to stop your crying  
I know that you’ve been so bored since the Circle K closed down  
So if it makes you feel a bit better just picture me  
Crying crying in my beer
