Anyone have the lyrics to this song? I tried to figure it out, and this is what I've got. There are a few parts I'm unsure of. Wanna help me out? What do you hear?
Maybe I ain't got lots of time or money
Baby I ain't got anything to do
But I'll make believe that I still can see the way of getting through
Well I know I shouldn't do it, but I do
Like to build you're livin' out of daydreams
You like to watch those day dreams turn to dust
You might never get enough, or maybe you've had too much
You know you shouldn't do it, but you do
Who's to say no one can do it better?
Who's to say no one can do it all?
If I can't believe the movie screens ...
Then I won't believe in anything at all
Single out a voice inside a chorus
Hear it singing, ringing out to you
And make believe that you still can see the way of getting through
Well you know you shouldn't do it, but you do
Who's to say no one can do it better?
Who's to say no one can do it all?
If I can't believe the movie screens ...
Then I won't believe in anything
Won't believe in anything
Won't believe in anything at all
The parts are couldn't tell are where the ellipsis are
nobody?

Isn't that line "single out a voice inside a chorus"?
QuoteIsn't that line "single out a voice inside a chorus"?
ooo yeah that sounds right. and makes sense too, with the "hear it ringing, singing out to you".
and i think yeah it's "no one can do it better" also.
i edited the original post to have all the lyrics that i think it to be so far.
still can't figure out the part after 'movie screens'
edit* and i think 'conceive' might be right too, or that it's "and make believe that you can still can see..."
i know that's not grammatically correct, but lot's of times songwriters through in little things like that to make it flow better. I dunno if i really hear the "v" sound in there.
