Lyrics
He thought he was the king of America
Where they pour Coca-Cola just like vintage wine
I try hard not to become hysterical
But I'm not sure if I'm laughing or I'm crying
And I wish that I could push a button
Talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this hurting feeling
Disappear like it was common sense
It was a fine idea at the time
Now it's a brilliant mistake
She said that she was working for the ABC News
It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use
Her perfume was unspeakable, it lingered in the air
Like her artificial laughter, her mementos of affairs
Oh, I said, "I see you know him
Isn't that very fortunate for you?"
She showed me his calling card and he came third or fourth
And there was more than one or two
She was a fine idea at the time
Now he's a brilliant mistake
He thought he was the king of America
Oh, but it was just the boulevard of broken dreams
A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals
Yeah, the words of loving whispers and the acts of loving screams
Wish that I could push a button
Talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this loving feeling
Disappear like it was common sense
I was a fine idea at the time
Now I'm a brilliant mistake
I was a fine idea at the time
Now I'm a brilliant mistake
