At the Fountain Lyrics

[SIDNEY]
You put the old suit in the trash
You take the whole damn past
And cash it in
Cash the whole thing in
You’re not crazy
A lot can happen in one night
With half a chance
Who knows what might begin
Falcone might just win
So many times you thought the way was clear
Only to find you can’t get there from here
Here’s your chance
Make some dough
Change your name
Keep the O

Hey, Sidney
You finally found some luck
You’ve always been an also ran
Just racin’ for a buck
A guy with a smile
A way with the word
Quick with a joke
We’ve already heard

(spoken)

Ya’ ever hear the one about Lana Turner?
Sittin’ at the soda fountain?
Dreamin’ her soda fountain dreams?

(singing)

But there was something he could see
For just a moment
It’s like he saw inside o’ me
What’s really there
What I was, what I am, what I’ll be

Maybe I’m at the fountain
Maybe I’m at the start
It’s time to step up and drink
And not even think
You don’t have to think to be smart
Sometimes the perfect timing
Feels like a work of art
Cause it can bring you your break
And answer the ache
He offers, you take the part

(spoken)

Garbo, Brando, Harlo, Monroe
Keep the O
Garbo, Brando, Harlo, Monroe
Keep the O

(singing)

Somebody buys a paper at the stand
Buddy, you hold my future in your hand
Fortunes change
People grow
Now and then
Fountains flow

It’s like he saw inside o’ me
Where I belong, who I could be
And in the flashing of the neon
I could swear that he could see
What’s really there!

(spoken)

Garbo, Brando, Harlo, Falco!

(singing)

Looks like I’m at the fountain
Looks like I’m at the start
Before a door can be shut
You go with your gut
Yes, go with your gut and your heart
It’s time to tear through that door
It’s time now to soar
So let my life’s story start!
