When the dust settled everything was in doubt You didnt know where to turn You were still off balance Your mind wanders back in time A thousand drinks ago And youre an optimist Its a bit hazy now So many plot twists So you try and try to forget But the circuits have been etched The connections are fresh The contacts mesh Each night Raked over the coals She called from a payphone The voice on the tape didnt match his face A sympathetic ear So many plot twists So you try and try to forget But the circuits have been etched The connections are fresh The contacts mesh And youre an optimist You were an optimist
