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
