On Being Frank Ben Folds Five

[Verse 1]
I had it all
Or should I say, "I saw it all?"
And it's a long way from the dustbin of New Jersey to the top
Who would have known?
Who would have known?

[Verse 2]
I had a dream
But dreams had other plans for me
For thirty years, I set the thermostat where Frank Sinatra liked it
Pulled his girls and hung his hats—I never knew which ones were mine
Now, he's gone
I'm alone

[Chorus]
And I don't know where I might be going
I rode the wind; the wind stopped blowing
Set me on the roadside coming home
But home—
For me, was always someone else, you know?
That shadows always fall when the sun goes down

[Verse 3]
I shook the hands
Of Mafia dons and presidents
And though they always smiled politely with a measure of decorum
Still, their eyes would scan beyond me for a glimpse of something more
But now, he's gone
Now, they're gone
