Suspend My Disbelief / I Had A Life

If there's anything left I can do

To convince myself it could be true

It's up to me to suspend my disbelief

If there's even one thing left to try

I don't even need to know why

It's just relief to suspend my disbelief

How can it be?

It must be true

This thing I feel

I know it's you

It's a chance in a million, I know

But I'll take it before I let go

And admit defeat

I'll suspend my disbelief

How could she know?

It must be real

I know it's you

I know how I feel

Suspend my disbelief

How can you believe some fortune teller

From Spanish Harlem

Who shows up at your door?

I sat there and watched, she was talking to him

I don't buy it, Mol'

Not for a minute

Carl, she knew things

I know they were true

What kind of things?

Ah... a photo Sam took as we rode the bus into Reno

We were all alone, just us

It's something no one would know

And the starfish at Montego Bay, look

She said that Sam knows who killed him

That he was set up, murdered

This is getting deranged

We're going off the deep end here

She had a name, an address

A complete ID

Good, Molly, good

Willie Lopez, 321 Prospect Place, apartment 4D

She said Sam wants me to go to the police

The police?! Molly, Jesus, what're you gonna tell 'em?

Some store-front psychic's been getting messages from the dead?

Carl, I know

I know it sounds crazy but you gotta trust her

Suspend my disbelief

Stop, Mol'! Stop it! This is sick, it's really sick

Suspend my disbelief

This woman's a joke! Look at you! You've gotta let go!

(Suspend my disbelief)

[When it's over, it's over]

(I know you're here)

[None of it's real]

(It must be you)

[You've got to heal]

(I know what I feel)

[It's part of the deal]

(I know that it's real)

Look, if it makes you feel any better

I'll go check it out, OK?

Really? Carl, thank you

I appreciate that

But I am going to the police

No, I wouldn't do that

Not just yet

I'll call you tomorrow, I promise

I'm gonna do this, Carl

I don't believe it, it's so sad

Where are the good times we once had?

Such a high that we were on

I can't believe that it's all gone

How could this happen? We were friends

Thought we had something that never ends

We'll get over it somehow

All we've got is here and now

Here right now (Here right now)

[It was a misunderstanding]

Here right now (Here right now)

Here right now (Here right now)

[It was a misunderstanding]

Here right now (Here right now)

Be careful, Carl

This guy's dangerous

Carl? What you doin' here?

Who've you been talking to?

Talking to?

That's loco, hombre

What the hell you mean?

Some fortune teller woman knows all about you

Everything

Where's she getting it from, huh?

Carl

I ain't said a word to anybody

She knows your name, God damn it

She knows where you live

A lot of women know where I live

This isn't a joke, man

She knows about them

You bastard

Now, I want you to find this bitch, whoever she is

And you just

Look, you just get rid of her, OK?

I got ten million dollars stuck in that goddamn computer

I don't get those codes, that money's not transferred soon

I'm dead, we're both dead

These are big drug dealers

Ah, why don't you tell 'em you, uh

You only loaned the money on the first of the month

You don't screw with them, man

They'll take us down like that

What is wrong with you?

Is everything a joke?

You killed a man

I mean, what the hell didn't you understand, Willie?

You were supposed to steal his wallet

You killed a man

Oh, oh, was that a joke?

I did you a favor, man

I had a life

I had it all

From such a height

But so far to fall

You took all I had

Tore apart at the seams

You've taken from me everything I see

You've stolen my dreams

I had a life

I had it all

From such a height

So far to fall

You took all I had

Torn apart at the seams

You've taken from me everything I see

You've stolen my dreams

I had a life

(If there's anything more I can do)

I had it all

(I'll do it and find my way back to you)

From such a height

(Suspend my disbelief)

It's so far to fall

I gave you all I had

(If there's even one thing left to try)

Torn apart at the seams

(I don't even need to know why)

You've taken from me and forsaken me

(Suspend my disbelief)

And stolen my dreams

Yes, we're just playing a numbers game

Every second, the numbers change

This is what I live to feel

It's the beauty of the deal

This is the essence of high finance

So many steps when you do this dance

This is always such a rush

Making millions with one touch

New York, New York, New York

The city that knows everything

Where and when and who and what

And which and why and how

New York, it'll give you everything

Think it, dream it, hey, you got it

Here, right now

Tony, this is Carl

We've got the codes, I'm all set

Yeah, we're fine, everything's fine

You just tell me what you want me to do

OK, transfer the money into a single account

Under the name... Rita Miller

Account number 92631043, is that right?

Friday, 4:30 PM, transfer the full account to First Island Bank at Nassau

Yeah, "Rita Miller"

Yeah, this Friday! Ay, don't worry about it, I'm on it!

Call you when it's done

Ah, ah, and tell Mr. Balistrary I'm sorry for all that happened

It won't happen again

There won't be any more problems

I had a life

(If there's anything more I can do)

I had it all

(I'll do it and find my way back to you)

From such a height

(Suspend my disbelief)

It's so far to fall

[It was a misunderstanding]

I gave you all I had

(If there's even one thing left to try)

Torn apart at the seams

(I won't even need to know why)

You've taken from me and forsaken me

And broken my dreams

I had a life

[It was a misunderstanding]

(You are my heart)

I had it all

(You need to know)

[It's here right now]

And from such a height

(You're not alone)

It's so far to fall

[It's all here right now]

I didn't understand

(You're not alone)

But I was dying to see

[It's all here right now]

(You are my heart)

It's all on loan

There's nothing you own

Nothing's for free

I had the life

[This is the life]

(Here I am)

[This is the way we're driven]

I had the life

[This is the time]

Here I am

[This is the chance we're given]

I had a life (You are my life) [This is the life]
