The Romance of the New

from The Visit by Bill White

/

lyrics

when you received the oscar on oscar night
i was thrown into the darkness like a satellite
yourstar was rsing my meteor fell
you were in heaven i was in hell
nevwer n my life have i been so humiliated
to be loved in the autumn in the spring to be hated
when we wrote urmovie we were high in the sky
but you rewrote the ending with some other guy

chorus
the romance of the new is inhanced by the pain of the old
you took the gold and left me in the rain

once upon a time we had the worldon a string
with you by my side i could do anything
you stepped on my shoulders to receive the acclaim
and when you gave the speech you didnt mention my name

repeat chorus

now i wouldnt never wantyobe in the place where you are
and you wouldnt be caught dead in my wreck of a car
but once i saw the future ad the best of you and me
but that was just a dream that was never to be
