I never felt so close to you
I never been so far away
Whoa, and I know what you're going through
So is that all you can say to me
Is that all you can say to me?

Oh, I used to know you when
Yeah, but you turned your back on me
Oh hell, I just got turned around myself
Then what do you expect of me
Just what do you expect of me?

It's a crazy world we live in
It's a crazy road we take
We could walk this way blinfolded
Down by the Great Mistake.

Well, you used to be my hero, boy
'Til you parked the car in the lake (ha! ha!)
Well, that wasn't strictly my idea, you know (oh yeah)
I parked down by the Great Mistake
Well, you should've used your emergency brake.

If it worked I woulda!

There'll be a lot of compromisin'
And if that don't sound excitin'
Your money ain't no good here
Down by the Great Mistake.

Oooh, oooh, oooh.

Woe! Oh man!

I think it's gonna work out just fine
Oh, you can think that way if you like
Oh, what would make you say a thing like that
Hey, I'm not sayin' anything
I'm not sayin' anything.

There'll be a lot of compromisin'
And if that don't sound invitin'
We can walk this way blinfolded
Down by the Great Mistake.

Down by the Great Mistake
Down by the Great Mistake.

Ooooh, yeah
Hey!

Hey, did you ever get that towing bill?
Is that what that was?
Well it wasn't my cellular phone bill!
Oh man!
I only had to call that Triple A one time
Or was it the AA?!
You can tell the difference
You need to call somebody
You need help!
