She may cry but her tears will dry when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia

Ivan Braginski set the photograph of Allison F. Jones down.

I was having this discussion in a taxi heading downtown

Rearranging my position on this friend of mine who had a little bit of a breakdown

I said 'hey, no breakdowns

What are you going to do about it?

That's what I would like to know'

He looked at the photo again.

You don't feel you could love me but I feel you could

He moved to a window where he could watch the cars go by.

It's in the early morning hours when I fell into a phone call

Believing I had supernatural powers, I slammed into a brick wall

I said 'hey, is this my problem?

Is this my fault?

If that's the way it's gonna be

I'm gonna call the whole thing to a halt.'

He moved to get a bottle of vodka from his refrigerator.

You don't feel you could love but I feel you could

He sat on his couch.

I was walking down the street when I thought I heard this voice say

'Say, ain't we walking down the same street together on the very same day?'

I said 'hey

That's astute

Why don't we get together and call ourselves an institute?'

The doorbell rang.

You don't feel you could love me but I feel you could

He got up to answer it.
