At the Fountain

You put the old suit in the trash
You take the whole damn past and cash it in
Cash the whole thing in
You're not crazy

A lot can happen in one night
With half a chance, who knows what might begin?
Falcone might just win!

So many times you thought the way was clear
Only to find you can't get there from here
Here's your chance
Make some dough
Change your name
Keep the "O"

Hey Sidney, you finally found some luck
You've always been an "also-ran"
Just racing for a buck
A guy with a smile, a way with a word
Quick with a joke we've already heard

You ever hear the one about Lana Turner?
Sittin' at the soda fountain
Dreamin' her soda fountain dreams

But there was something he could see for just a moment
It's like he saw inside of me what's really there
What I was, what I am, what I'll be

Maybe I'm at the fountain
Maybe I'm at the start
It's time to step up and drink, and not even think
You don't have to think to be smart
Sometimes the perfect timing feels like a work of art
'Cause it can bring you your break and answer the ache
He offers, you take the part

Garbo, Brando, Harlowe, Monroe, keep the "O"
Garbo, Brando, Harlowe, Monroe, keep the "O"

Somebody buys a paper at the stand
Buddy, you hold my future in your hand
Fortunes change, people grow
Now and then fountains flow

It's like he saw inside of me where I belong, what I could be
And in the flashing of the neon
I could swear that he could see what's really there

Garbo, Brando, Harlowe, Falco!

Looks like I'm at the fountain
Looks like I'm at the start
Before a door can be shut, you go with your gut
Yes, go with your gut and your heart
It's time to tear through that door
It's time now to soar!
So let my life story start!
