I made a choice that very night To become a slightly better man I started white-washing my hands of all those pa**ings And as you waited alone in your car outside I politely, but quite firmly denied your invitation for the evening So, hold out your weary hand Let me tell your fortune again Your future is brighter than you'll ever know Now that we are on our own And there are things that you deserve to know The rest you have to earn I have no remorse And as soon as I hung up the phone I knew that this disaster was finally through And I could hear through the cloudy line That this took you by surprise So, hold out your weary hand Let me tell your fortune again Your future is brighter than you'll ever know Now that we are on our own And it's true that I have no idea what the universe has in store But I do know that when you think it can't get any worse, it does It does, it does So, hold out your weary hand Let me tell your fortune again Your future is brighter than you'll ever know And now we are on our own So, hold out your weary hand Let me tell your fortune again Your future is brighter than you'll ever know Now that we are on our own Now that we are on our own
