Now You Know

So you made a mistake
So you're singing the blues
So you'll take some time, go visit some places
You gotta be somewhere
Where there's nothing to remind you
Right?
What you need is a break
I'll arrange a nice cruise
You'll relax a bit and see some new faces

You gotta do something
Only never look behind you
Right?
Best thing that ever could have happened
Right
So you'll sit in the sun
You'll come back with a tan
Then we'll do that show you've always been talking

The side is retired
So we start another inning
Right?
On a boat it's such fun
You'll come back a changed man
I've had lots of guests and no one's squawking
Feels like an ending
But it's really a beginning
Right?

Best thing that ever could have happened
(Best thing that ever could)
Right!
Alright, now you know
Life is crummy
Well, now you know

I mean, big surprise
People love you and tell you lies
Bricks can tumble from clear blue skies
Put your dimple down
Now you know
Okay, there you go
That's the sum of it
Now you know

It's called flowers wilt
It's called apples rot
It's called thieves get rich and saints get shot
It's called God don't answer prayers a lot
Okay, now you know

Okay, now you know
Now forget it
Don't fall apart at the seams
It's called letting go of your illusions
And don't confuse them with dreams
If the going's slow
Don't regret it
And don't let's go to extremes

It's called what's your choice?
It's called count to ten
It's called burn your bridges, start again
You should burn them every now and then
Or you'll never grow

Because now you grow
That's the killer is
Now you grow
You're right, nothing's fair
And it's all a plot
And tomorrow doesn't look too hot
Right, you better look at what you got
Over here, hello?
Okay, now you know
Right?

So you'll find a new gal
So you'll write a new play
In a month or two, you're going to thank us
You may have missed one road
But there's plenty more to follow
Right?

We'll go through the canal
Up the coast to L.A
You'll come see the place I'm building at Trancas
You hang around here, pal
And you're only gonna wallow
Right?

Best thing that ever could have
I mean, you'll come back
I mean, what's the fuss?
I mean, sea and sun and comfort plus
Happened!
I mean, after all, you've still got us

Best thing that ever could have
(Best thing that ever could have happened!)
(Best thing that ever could have happened!)
(Best thing that ever could have happened!)

But you gotta let go
Gotta do it from scratch
Take a long deep breath
Go back to your sources
A little vacation
Which is all about forgetting
Right?
Right!

Right!
Then we'll do a new show
No, we'll do a whole batch
Maybe one that's all about divorces
I mean, a divorce court
What a fascinating setting
Right?
Right!
Right

Best thing that ever could have happened
(Yesterday is done)
Best thing that ever could have happened
(See the pretty countryside)
I say, best thing that ever could have happened
(So you'll sit in the sun, you'll come back with a tan)

(Soon enough you're merrily, merrily)
I say, best thing that ever could have happened
(Rolling along)
It's your time, it's your time
(Rolling along)
It's your time

What's your choice?
It's called count to ten
It's called burn your bridges, start again
You should burn them every now and then
Or you'll never grow
Come on, Frank!
Because now you grow
Life's a killer
So now you grow

You're right, nothing's fair
And it's all a plot
And tomorrow doesn't look too hot
Right!
You better look at what you got
Over here, hello?
(Over here, hello?)
(Over here, hello?)
Oh!

Over here, hello (now you know it)
It's here, hello (now you know it)
It's here, hello (now you know it)
It's here, hello (now you know it)
Right, right, right, right!
Right, right, right, right!
I love you, Frank!
Now you know
