A cautionary tale perhaps.

lyrics

Hope and Chance

Hope is losing sleep
Always gettin’ wrapped up in-between
Poly-cotton scenery
The best she’s ever seen
And Chance is not awake but he’s still
Pulling at the drapes
He likes to touch the greenery
Crouched down on bended knees

He’s got the chemicals to prove it
And the temperature to use them

Hope just cleans the room
While Chance is building his cocoon
It’s a locomotion tragedy
The best I’ve ever seen

Hope must find a way
But she’s still waiting for Chance to say
“I love you to the moon and back”
But Chance he ain’t ever comin’ back

She’s got the temperature to prove it
And the chemicals to ease it

Well how they gonna go when the goin’ just gets in the way?
How they gonna live when the livin’ won’t hesitate?

She said I’m tired of meeting people with a weak handshake
Drinking too much wine and staying up so late
I’d travel round the world but I never could do it alone
Giving all I got but never what it takes
I diet all the time but I’m still gainin’ weight
Living all my life as though I’m living for yesterday

Well hope springs eternal they say

Once upon a time they had the whole world spinnin’
But further down the line
They’re just spinning in a million little different ways
Everyone tries to beat the race

Standin’ in line or just sittin’ lookin’ pretty
Lights will never change
And we’re always feelin’ strange no matter where we go
Life moves fast when you’re feelin’ slow

We’ve got the temperature to prove it
And the chemicals to ease it

Well how we gonna go when the goin’ just gets in the way?
How we gonna live when the livin’ won’t hesitate?

I’m tired of meeting people with a weak handshake
Drinking too much wine and staying up so late
I’d travel round the world but I never could do it alone

Giving all I got but never what it takes
I diet all the time but I’m still gain’n weight
Living all my life as though I’m living for yesterday

Hope springs eternal they say
But this hope has gone quite astray
And our last chance faded away
