Verse Shall we agree that just this once I'm gonna change my life

1:

Until it's just as tiny or important as you like

And in time we won't even recall that we spoke

Words that turned out to be as big as smoke

As smoke disappears in the air

There's always something smoldering somewhere

Chorus

I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

At the other end

At the other end of the telescope

(

)

Verse The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice

2:

Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close

Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir

They interrupted my evil desires

One day you're up in the clouds

The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines

(chorus)

Bridge

Lie down baby now don't say a word

There there baby your vision is blurred

Your head is so sore from all of that thinking

I don't want to hurt you now

But I think you're shrinking

Verse You're half naked ambition and you're half out of your wits

3:

Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits

Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call

I never noticed you could be so small

The answer was under your nose

But the question never arose

Chorus

I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh it sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin

And the cast iron heart that you failed to tear open

At the other end
