stephen stirred cream in his coffee and said
maybe the steam will be good for my head
cus i can't stand things now no i can't

mary said stevie i strongly agree
i think the same way as you but i'm me
and i can't stand things now no i can't
but sometimes i can see
the best is yet to be for me me me me me

stephen said steady and slow wins the race
still i need something worthwhile there to chase
and i can't find it now no i can't

mary leaned back in her chair to reflect
i need a place for my thoughts to collect
i can't find it now no i can't
but sometimes i can see
the best is yet to be for me me me me me

mary politely light my cigarette
and someday if i can i'll square up the debt
cus i can't stand things now no i can't

she snuffed the candle and coughed and then said
maybe the smoke will be good for your head
i can't stand things now no i cant
but sometimes i can see
the best is yet to be for me me me me me
