Fortune
Music and lyrics by Jeff Neville c2017
You make a name but you barely speak
They steal your notes and they think you’re a freak
Something goes viral by the end of the week
They stir and stir and stir
You live in a house that can stand up to cold
But you’re too busy trying to strike gold
To see the scenes change as the plot unfolds
They stir and stir and stir
Come on baby don’t you hold back come on baby
Come on baby don’t you hold back come on baby
CHORUS:
They’re calling good fortune having so much fun before the earthquake
From beneath the ocean what a difference one day can make
Nosy detectives aren’t your cup of tea
So you are ducking from their inquiries
But these saps all still ooze from the trees
They stir and stir and stir
Come on baby don’t you hold back come on baby
Come on baby don’t you hold back come on baby
CHORUS
They learn by eavesdropping on the nerdy
Painting a picture that looks pretty dirty
Framed at the office of Civil Liberty
They stir and stir and stir
The company has some new angle on
Your life and they say it’s a tangled one
In some ways your life hasn’t even begun
So they stir and stir and stir
Come on baby don’t you hold back come on baby
Come on baby don’t you hold back come on baby
CHORUS
Let me tell you now
CHORUS
What a difference one day can make let me tell you now
What a difference one day can make
