	Story Behind the Song The lyrics were made up spontaneously by Steve Martin on the first take. Lyrics She sits there by the window, she sits there all alone She can hear the children coming, she pretends she isn't home She's waiting for the answers, to all her broken dreams Well hey there little Prom Queen, life's not what it seems You can't live the past, when its all been said and done And don't you waste your future, while the victory's unwon You wont find the answers, in the bottom of a glass You wake up in the morning, your whole life gone past She takes another drink now, she knows not what it means She wipes a final tear dry, as the razor cuts her clean You wont find the answers, and don't you even try You wake up in the morning, your whole life's gone by She sits there by the window, sits there all alone Waiting for the answers, until you all get home She's trying to find the future, but you know its in the past She's finally found the answer, but its full of gas You can't live the past when its all been said and done And don't you waste your future while the victory's unwon Dont you find the answers, in the bottom of a glass You wake up in the morning, your whole life gone past You won't find the answers, you can't turn the past You won't see in the future, you won't know the past If you look, you're gonna find, you're only going to see Your old eyes are staring back at you and me No, you wont find the answers
