Bounce

Lyrics

[WILSON] We've come a long way [ADDISON] We've been through a lot [WILSON] We've learned how to bounce As Papa would say: [WILSON & ADDISON] "You're hot, then you're not You better learn to bounce" If something goes wrong That's all right Bounce along Just travel light You go off the track Don't look back That's the thing that counts [ADDISON] You hit a few bumps You make a few gaffes You learn how to bounce [WILSON] You take a few lumps You have a few laughs And all the while you bounce [WILSON & ADDISON] Don't dwell on the times That you fail Remember the times When you sail Find a new road Forge a new trail Bounce [WILSON, spoken] You don't suppose this really is heaven, do you? [ADDISON, spoken] If guys like you get to go to heaven, Willie, who has to go to hell? [WILSON, spoken] Point taken— Although if this isn't heaven, then where the hell are we? [ADDISON, spoken] Yeah. And where do we go next? [WILSON] No cause for concern We'll get by Live and learn— [As ADDISON shoots him a look.] All right then, die! So what if we're dead? Gotta look ahead [ADDISON. spoken] How true, how true. ' [WILSON] The road may get rough [ADDISON] Who knows in advance? [WILSON] Be ready to bounce [ADDISON] You needn't have brilliance Just resilience [WILSON] You do it enough You look for the chance [WILSON & ADDISON] You see it and you pounce [WILSON] When you're spent Reinvent [WILSON & ADDISON] We've bucked a few trends— [WILSON] And with style [WILSON & ADDISON] We've made a few friends— [ADDISON] For a while [WILSON] From all we've been through— [ADDISON] From dealing with you I've learned how to— [Noticing what WILSON is sniffing.] (spoken) Goddammit, Willie, will you put that crap away? [WILSON] The time up in Nome Gold up to our ears [ADDISON] We lost every ounce [WILSON, spoken] C'mon, it was fun— [ADDISON, spoken] At the point of a gun? [WILSON] Well, then we get home And who disappears? [ADDISON] I had to learn to bounce [WILSON, spoken] But we were a team.  [ADDISON, spoken] No, you were a team.  [WILSON] The horse that we doped [ADDISON] That youdoped [WILSON, spoken] Just trying to help further your career.  [ADDISON, spoken] Well, when you got finished helping, I didn't have a career.  [WILSON] It's the thought that counts No, you're right, you're right And when you are right, you're right! [ADDISON, spoken] Of course, there was that time down in Florida. You skipped town, left meholding the bag.  [WILSON, spoken] Sort of like that time up in New York when you skipped town and left mefor dead.  [ADDISON, spoken] New York! You wanna talk about New York? [WILSON] You're stuck in a jam Your brother says, "Scram!" You pack up and—! [ADDISON, spoken] "Scram," yes, indeed. "Scram" as in, "Scram, sucker, I'm getting married. I'll get back to you—" (sung) The brother you prize Keeps telling you lies You better goddamn well know how to goddamn— Oh, goddamn you! [WILSON] I mean, here we are Team or not It's bizarre How far we've got Together again Two old men Settling our accounts [ADDISON] Right, you're right, and when you're right Which isn't too often— [WILSON] The problem was mine [ADDISON] All I did was whine [WILSON] You did sort of flounce— With justification [ADDISON] Just frustration [WILSON] No, I was a fink [ADDISON] I drove you to drink [WILSON] What saved us was our bounce [ADDISON, spoken] That's how you survive.  [WILSON, spoken] We just might come out of this whole thing alive.  [WILSON & ADDISON] With someone to give You a hand You not only live You expand You learn to adjust You do what you must: Bounce
