about

The final release by The Golden Seals

lyrics

To be or not to be with me−−give me a sign
so I know we haven't been wasting our time
like a comedy of errors
it's no longer possible to be embarrassed
all we can do is act our way through each line

I know I'm no Olivier, I'm just an old clown
but the irony is I'm bringing us down
marvel of the modern age
model of the martyr on the centre stage
a minor key soliloquy, that's my sound

To be or not to be with me−−tell me right now
you see only the worst in me always somehow
I'll win you over with a line
in the sand, understand
To be or not to be with me−tell me right now

To be or not to be with me−−that is the play
that we have to suffer through every day
and at the end of all this drama
will there be a period or just a comma
a second run? a one-and-done?
Who's to say...?

To be or not to be with me−−tell me right now
you see only the worst in me always somehow
I'll win you over with a line
in the sand, if I can
To be or not to be with me−tell me right now

To be or not to be with me−−tell me right now
I'll win you over with a line
or maybe not this time
