lyrics

I'm backstage
And I'm making sure I'm saying all their names
Correctly

It used to take an hour to review all of the clues but now I like to get to work a little early.

I'm not used to being pampered like this
I'm not used to all the makeup and the wigs
But I plan to last a little while longer
Yes, I plan to last a little while longer

We begin
Johnny makes me feel like I'm a king
I give an answer

And for a moment I am Cronkite and I'm floating through the air
And there is no chemotherapy or cancer

I've always kept my feet flat on the ground
Who thought the wizard of the odds would stick around
But I plan to last a little while longer
Yes, I plan to last a little while longer

We were slow to discover, but fast to act
And I'm still not sure what possessed me to renew that contract but I'm gonna make it out of here alive
With or without my body I survive
