Playing Possum Lyrics
(Carly Simon)We lived up here in CambridgeAnd browsed in the hippest newsstandsThe we started our own newspaperGave the truth about Uncle SamWe loved to be so radicalBut like a ragged love affairSome became disenchantedAnd some of us just got scaredNow are you playing possumKeeping a low profileAre you playing possum for a whilethen you moved to the countryBought a farm and tilled the landThen you took your books to IndiaAnd got hooked on a holy manBut the wells they do run dryAnd the speeches turn to wordsAnd the woods are full of tigersAnd freedom's for the birdsNow you run a bookstoreAnd you've taken on a wifeYou wear patches on your elbowsAnd you live an easy lifeBut are you finally satisfiedIs it what you were lookin' forOr does it sneak up on youthat there might be something more
Carly Simon Playing Possum
