Window Of Opportunity

Ask me nicely to get lost
Wondered what you meant by that
But once the T's had all been crossed
I realized you've got no tact
Much to my dismay
There's nothing to assay
I think I'd have a shot at it if they'd just let me play

Tell me what I've been doing wrong
And you go on and on and all night long

My window of opportunity
Was dangled right in front of me
Won't open up 'cause it was painted shut

Baiting me with interest
Just so you can say, "So what?"
And somewhere there's a village
That's missing an idiot
Imagine my chagrin
Don't know where to begin
Got one foot stuck in the door
I'm almost halfway in

Those traps had all been set before
And you walk on and on across the floor

And my window of opportunity
Was dangled right in front of me
Just wide enough, but it was painted shut

Give it a chance
Try to be nice
Whether you mean it or not
I don't mind
If you don't find the window
'Cause someone drew the blind

There's nothing left to misconstrue
And you go on and on and right on cue

And my window of opportunity
Dangled it right in front of me
Won't open up 'cause it was painted shut

Window of opportunity
Dangled it right in front of me
Just wide enough, but it was painted shut
