Got my dinner jacket on

Harps in my left-side-pocket

I’m not gonna play the songs you like

Or maybe I just might

There’s no one around

But I’m still here

Giving up on it all is the only thing

That I fear

CHORUS

Got to have a thick skin

Always ready to begin

To begin again

Wishful thinking

There’s a scary silence

Right after I play

It frightens the hell out of me

But I trust it leads the way

To the next song

I hope I can write

I’ll never know what’s gonna happen

I just gotta keep up the fight

CHORUS

Got to have a thick skin

Always ready to begin

To begin again

Wishful thinking
