Birth of a Salesman Lyrics by Zack Tomasko

There Used To Be A Future, For Now, Here’s Zack Tomasko

2021

[Folks Talking]
[Verse 1]
Just a short term girl
Tryna keep it long distance
Here for your pleasure but
I mean business
I’m gonna be a star
I’ll be gone by the
Time you see me
Just a big dumb fella 
In the big dumb city
Tryna make a dream come true 
Pumping out a draft
Of his own obituary
Local man tried his best
For you
He takes a moment
And a look into the mirror
Knuckles to his eyes
So he can think a little clearer
Never really knows just
How close he is to a breakthrough
[Chorus 1]
If only, if only
I wasn’t so damn lonely
Maybe I could meet somebody nеw
I’ve been so looking forward to
Keeping my eyes closеd
I forgot the words I used to use
Now I’m speaking in tongues in
The middle of a memory with you
[Verse 2]
Well, he understood that
She was indefferent
He was looking for a thing like
Her for instance
That girl was a billboard
And he had a lot to sell
If he could get to her early
He could be persuasive
He had to make his way
Into the equation
She was a theory
And he had something to prove
He spits a slogan and
She whispers to her lonesome
Glasses she don’t wear come out
To see how long she owes him
Never gonna be
Quite as free as you were
On the way here
[Chorus 2]
And if only if only
All that dream you sold me
Was worth more than an evening
And a smile
I was so speechless
With everyone’s ears on
A sad eyed little kid
So far from home
In a room full of folks
That are banking on you feeling alone
[Bridge]
She’s gotta be vain
But not too vain
She’s gotta be skinny
But not too skinny
She’s gotta be sane
But not too sane
She’s gotta be pretty
YES!
She’s out there
Somewhere
Just like you
[Outro]
So beware the salesman
Particularly the salesman in you
