If I could read your mind, love,
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstore sells,
When you reach the part where the heartaches come,
The hero would be me,
Heroes often fail,
You won't read that book again, because
the ending is just too hard to take....
All you have to do to see the accuracy of my thesis is look around
you. Look, in particular, at the people who, like you, are making
average incomes for doing average jobs - bank vice presidents,
insurance salesmen, auditors, secretaries of defense - and you'll
realize they all dress the same way, essentially the way the mannequins
in the Sears menswear department dress....
