I don't need this- Don't need anybody. Before you came along I got along just fine. Who says I was lonely? Somehow you got inside me, Past the signs and wire fences, And you offered me your shoulder, But you did. You were different, I could tell, Knew you'd catch me if I fell, Never had anyone who would. And before I really saw it, You were there inside my heart, And it was good. No one ever thought I'd make it, It was all one big adventure, Scared me half out of my wits. Then I met both of you guys, And for once, someone believed. Sorry... You didn't treat me like a kid- Well, okay, sometimes you did, But you listened to me too, Which really helped. Funny how things fall together How we shared one common thread, We were one. You know, I thought you All were crazy But hey, I needed money, And that first job left no doubt And I learned you guys were on The up and up. Where do you think that left me? I barely got my Master's- I'd been working on CONSTRUCTION Sites for years! You three were PhD's In subjects I can't spell And never had a clue That someone taught. You guys were more like brothers Than like any friends I'd seen. And the next thing that I know, I've found another home And I've finally found myself Where I belong. I'm with Winston, gotta say. I thought you all were nuts- Still do. This was just about a paycheck and a desk. Well, Ray and Egon make him Cover rent. Sometimes I ask why I don't quit. You guys would all be lost without me, But as long as we're spilling beans, I'd have to say it goes back my way, too. I'd miss the job intensely- Guess the adrenaline got to me- And no other job would ever be the same. Dr. V's socks on the floor, No more Tolstoy in the mornings, Or toadstools on the stairs, No one to ask about my family Or give my dates the evil eye. I guess my life'd just be Shades of grey. If you ever dare repeat a word I said, I will feed you to a demon. Thanks. |
_Who says I was lonely?_ _Weren't books enough?_ _I didn't want to like you,_ _But I did._ _Somehow you got inside me,_ _Past the screen of books and papers,_ _And you offered me your trust._ _Still don't know why I bothered-_ _God knows you made it hard._ _Still don't know how I made it_ _But I did._ _In the twinkling of an eye,_ _You were there inside my heart,_ _And it was good._ (Yeah, and I'd been there before.) _You were everything we weren't_ _One piece missing from the whole._ _Enthusiastic, idealistic,_ (And you BOUNCED.) (I thought you must be crazy,) (Then you opened up your mouth) (And I immediately had to throw that out.) (You made everything brighter,) _Turned our world onto its head,_ (_But soon we couldn't fathom life without._) (_Funny how things fall together_) (How we started hanging out,) _And before we really knew it,_ (_We were one.) (Yeah, we'd figured that one out.) _We had no idea how you'd take us._ :Or how you'd take the job.: (My money, Zed, was on gibbering shock.) _:Ignore him.:_ (But you taught us about DUCKING) :And how not to torch the walls: _And other bits of information_ _We'd never learned ourselves._ :But we still had one more hole: :We had to fill.: (_:And the next thing we know:_) (_:You've made the place a home:_) (_:Where you belong:_) *I thought Peter didn't pay you.* (Didn't know that when she came.) (Because you love me? Ow, don't hit!) _Go on, Janine, what were you going to say?_ :No more sliming at the door,: (Hey, I'll have you know that THOSE belong to Ray!) _As to that, I can't imagine_ _What you're trying to convey._ (Shades of grey.) (Hey, you don't think I know) (What it'd be like to go?) (And it's the same for us, I'll admit.) :We'd miss you yelling back at Peter,: *Dragging Egon out the door,* _Your touch with clients surely would be missed._ (What the Brain is trying to say) (Is that you brighten up his day.) (_:*We promise, not a word.*:_) (But...welcome to the family.) |
