See the writing on the wall Once the man who had it all You threw it all away, look around and nothing's left You've got nothing to forget No golden yesterday 'Cause you missed your calling You could have lived up in the sky You missed your calling every time Watch the lady throw the rune Have her come up to your room She comes from Montreal There's no limelight only line And Tequila's made you blind It's time to lose it all 'Cause you missed your calling
You could have lived up in the sky You missed your calling one more time The boy has got potential But he'll never have commercial success We gave him good direction But he always thought that he knew what's best We tried to set him straight His calls will have to wait We tried to change his future fate But now it's too late Something keeps telling quiet now, quiet now - quiet now Mother says quiet down, quiet down - quiet down .........
