The cuckoo clock quit chirping
The bird fell out and died
Spent its whole life working
And never learned to fly
It ran out of time
A man jumped in the river
To wash away his sin
In his religious fervor
Forgot he couldn't swim
No one saved his skin
Believe you me
I want to believe in you
Believe you me
I want to believe I do
A woman works the corner
Of Hollywood and Vine
No one can afford her
But we stand in line
Cause her love is blind
Believe you me
I want to believe in you
Believe you me
I want to believe I do
