Lyrics

[Farley] What has happened? Why can't I concentrate? Aristotle is Arisnotle Socrates is not worth the debate Philosophy used to be jet fuel for my brain Now reading a page is positively Herculean Since I quit The game obviously holds no allure Before my blues Even art doesn't offer a cure How did I ever become so vain? Could modelling underwear be any more lame? And Eve, oh Eve How I miss her so But I can't find a way past our current embargo I try to remain positive but I lose hope, she'll be gone forever I wish she'd give me a call Or send me a letter My world which once seemed so full of music and light Has been reduced to a monochrome of black and white [Hope Gordon] He sleeps All-day He's no longer engaged [Doctor] My diagnosis: Adolescent malaise [Edgar Gordon] Is there a cure? Anything we can do? [Doctor] Well, hopefully, he'll grow out of it in a year or two [Farley Gordon] I barely remember those weeks that went by Except for the constant irresistible cry Of the ice urgin' me to come skate But I'd made my decision, I'd sealed my hockey fate However, my resolve which once seemed so strong Started to waver as my exile dragged on I'm the addict tempted by vice Too weak to resist the lure of the ice Has hockey corrupted my very soul? It was always a game And never a life goal Am I dreaming? I must be asleep Why is Walter Gretzky on this rink? [Ensemble] The power of hockey works in mysterious ways [Walter Gretzky] We're here to see you past this miserable phase [Theo Fleury] We all know hockey's the best sport on the planet [Ensemble] Theo Fleury singin', what can't he do, damn it! [Theo Fleury] Play your own game, to thy own self be true [Ensemble] Don't let a couple of punches defeat you 'Cause hockey's the greatest game in the land You've got the goods to be the man 'Cause hockey's the greatest game in the land Enough of the talk, time to change the plan [Farley] Could they be onto somethin', could they be right? I'm starting to see this whole world in a different light Maybe, just maybe, it's more heroic to play To search my soul, to find a new way
