Which one of you had this great idea?
I speak in whispers so you won’t hear.
We went our separate ways and nobody claimed to steer.
So this song’s for all of you: for all of you I volunteer
To strike the first blow, duck and dodge, duck and dodge, and parry me.
We fought, we thought, we fought, we thought, we fought until we’re free.
Oh, stick to the script.
No, stick to the script.
When we’re together, we don’t ever deviate from the script
Until it’s over, superficial hugs, and then you split.
Like a movie twist, you believe, then you permit.
Every time I’m so surprised, I’m so surprised I must admit.
Every time you’re so surprised, you’re so surprised you must admit.
My feelings are tender, your blender’s rendered them to grit.
Oh, stick to the script.
No, stick to the script.
The words are written, the book is bound: we’re sentimental.
Story’s the same, we just move around: we’re consequential.
I miss you my friend because we lost what we had found: it’s detrimental.
So I won’t stick to the script.
No, no, no! Stick to the script.
