Sally and Roy Lyrics

Roy lived in 57th street

Visited Sally twice a week

Sally oh that poor old gal

Just placing the blame on my best pal

Consumed by her fantasies unable to see

That it just isn't meant to be

Her expectations are

Beyond his capabilities

She hides from the truth

Stuck in her own plastic booth

But what she really cares for is

The absurd possibilities

Her wishes are comical

What she asks requires miracles

Roy, she can highlight your flaws

And keep comparing to ideals

I never see you as less

You meet up to my appeals

Roy oh I didn't have the heart to say

You wasted your time my friend day and day

Roy oh I know you didn't read the signs

But when it all ends I know that you'd be fine

You'll brush it off your shoulder

Have a couple of beers

While Sally will be scared for years

Why can't she just accept the clear

Incompatibility

She tried to alter her character

To better fit his desires

But no matter what she does

It ends in plain futility

Down the rabbit hole she goes

Tangled in the thorns of roses

I'm tired of playing the therapist

When can I be the patient

I'm not saying I deserve a prize

Returning the favor just would've been nice

I could read on from the endless list

And I have to provide an explanation

Don't come crying to me for help

I'll give you a taste of how I felt

When I just needed someone to listen
