Monotov's Private Opera

Every moment of your life
Is a chance to get it right
Every moment you’ve been living in
You could turn it all on like a light
And the weight of the years
Has got me burstin' into tears
Standin' here with nothin'
I stand alone inside my fears
And like an actor reveals a deeper state
When I tell you now for me
It’s not too late
To tell you baby
It’s you and only you and no one else
And I’ll mean it
Even when I’m talking to myself
I said maybe, it’s you and only you and no one else
And how I miss Moscow
Those people really know
How to have a good time
In a mixed up state of mind
And Monotov’s Private Opera is closed
So I guess I’ll go home now
Cause there’s no where else to go
And tell you baby
It’s you and only you and no one else
And I’ll mean it
Even when I’m talking to myself
I said baby, it’s you and only you and no one else
You and no one else
But I’m lost in a poem
And now I’m walkin' by myself
In the dark alone
But these actors and dramatists won’t send me home
Maybe I’m like my father
Strung out on something or another
Held to a standard we were always sinking under
And maybe I’m like my mother
She shattered cause no one loved her
Maybe I, maybe I am like no other
And some moments are more real than the books I’ve read
And the good woman, well maybe she meant what she said
And I’ll tell you now some things go straight to my head
And I’ll tell you baby
It’s you and only you and no one else
And I’ll mean it, even when I’m talkin' to myself
I said baby, it’s you and only you and no one else
Yes, I mean it, even when I’m talkin' to myself
I’m talkin' to myself
I’m talkin' to myself
I’m talkin' to myself
And baby
Everything changed in a day
And I know another one on the way
And I’ll tell you, baby
Everything changed in a day
And I know (and I know)
Another one (another one) on the way
And I will tell you
Everything changed in a day
And I know (and I know)
Another one on the way (on the way)
(I know)
