Mountain highway bends, family holiday
How New England towns haunt my memory
Accusations fly in the cold north wind
I apologize, I'm the next of kin
So we'll hit the town, roll a couple frames
Criticize my size, criticize my game
You'll pick up the tab, I'll pick up the spare
Losing half your mind, almost all your hair
If you had your way, I would curse the stage
Trade the prince's life for the pauper's wage
So you say you need to be forgiven
You would have to live forever
Prove that you're ashamed
To leave the victims of a family man
Without a family plan
Say goodbye to the camera
Say goodbye to the camera
Can we reconcile? Can we rearrange?
Life is better now while we live estranged
Help me sympathize, help me understand
Dreadful poetry, flowers in the sand
Since the hospice stay, feigning rage subdued
Waging rosy war with the wicked brood
This misconduct weighs heavy on my mind
Still you picture me, brash and so unkind
This neglected plea brings eternal spite
Will the two of us ever reunite?
So you say you need to be forgiven
You would have to live, start living
Prove that you're ashamed
To leave the victims of a family man
Without a family plan
I refuse to act as your sole defense
'Til we both receive sincere recompense
For this tragic rhyme, ample cause to weep
Are the bluest eyes born of blackest sheep?
So you say you need to be forgiven
You would have to live forever
Prove that you're ashamed
To leave the victims of a family man
Without a family plan
Say goodbye to the camera
Say goodbye to the camera
Say goodbye to the camera
It came to you in your dream
