Elvis Costello - Oh Well lyrics

The ink is running, the words are taught I'm sitting helpless with my paper and charts I had to follow my pa**ion Oh well I don't get paid that much for all I deserve To waste a sentence or shatter my nerves I had to follow my pa**ion Oh well Sometimes I long to run outside I'd give it all up but it's my pride Oh well Oh well I had a dream once or so I thought I'd be a pilot or an astronaut I had a dream like that until I found Even an astronaut goes into the ground Life is just pa**ing us bye-bye Oh well Oh well Oh well
