Lyrics

Someone's gonna tell you and it might be me

There's information I need to share, possibly about you.

There's something on your face that even you can't see

You're unaware of a flaw or issue evident to others.

It isn't your eyes and it isn't your nose

It's not about your physical features.

You don't have to sniff to tell you that it ain't no rose

Your situation isn't pleasant despite appearances.

It's something in your arrogant line

Your attitude holds something off-putting.

Your brain is tired of biding its time

Your mind is tired of waiting for something.

You're gonna blow up here

There's potential for a major issue to occur.

so Paul you got to make up your mind

You need to make a decision, Paul.


You drag into the studio and don't care why

You're indifferent about your actions or purpose.

You got a life as big as city hall and that's no lie

Your life seems significant but lacking authenticity.

The aging owner treats you to a couple of beers

An older figure treats you but lacks depth in conversation.

Feeding you cliches about the thing between your ears

You question the shallowness of their words.

You wonder if its all he can say

You aim to articulate things better in the future.

You'll find a better way to say it someday

You're too occupied with less important tasks.

But Paul you're too busy stripping gears,

You're wasting time and effort.

now Paul your life is dripping away

Your life is slipping away unproductively.


Hang in, hang out, hang on, hang on Paul

Hold on, persevere, don't give up, Paul.

You're having a ball

You're enjoying yourself despite the situation.

It's your way of life and not mine

Our lifestyles differ significantly.

It's so strangely easy to see

It's clear to others but not to you.

But you're laughing so hard you could die

Your laughter masks a serious issue.


I'm not about to tell you what you should be doing

I won't dictate your actions or decisions.

I tend to disappear when I smell trouble brewing

I tend to avoid problems.

I understand exactly what's the matter with you

I comprehend your situation.

We're stranded here together in this paddleless canoe

We're stuck in a difficult situation together.

I'll take my chances in the water for now

I'll take risks rather than remain stuck.

It's what my mother would have wanted anyhow

I'll do what's necessary, despite the risks.

The life you're living is over

Your current lifestyle is unsustainable.

but Paul, you're no contented cow

You're not content with your situation, Paul.


They say being in show biz is a thrill

Entertainment industry life is exhilarating but demanding.

It makes your life a breeze, [...]

(Lyrics missing)

But you better do something Paul before it kills you, yeah

You need to take action before it leads to your demise.

Paul, you've got to make up your mind

You're urged to decide, Paul.
