well the final cuts have been made
I'm no longer part of the team
my talents no longer needed
but it was an incredible dream

I was likely out of my league
unable to stay the pace to keep up
my shortcomings finally showed clearly
still drinking from the old sippy cup

it was one hell of a ride
I still struggle to catch my breath
I had hoped this would last forever
last until my parting death

but you get exactly your deserving
now it's time to charge straight ahead
there are other teams still looking
for a capable body and head

I have lots of things to offer
so I will take my time to review
I am more than just a pretty face
what you get depends on you
