Total Collapse of the Stock
(Sung to the tune of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler)
Guest song parody by Skisics Surus, skisics@yahoo.com

(instrumental intro)

(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous and as my stock's coming down.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the worst of all my fears have gone by.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the cash has run dry.
(Turnaround, they cried) Enron has now fallen apart.
(Turnaround, they cried) Enron has now fallen apart.

(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit restless on my dream of retirement.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and Ken's lying memo meant to disarm.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.
(Turnaround, they cried) Enron has now fallen apart.
(Turnaround, they cried) Enron has now fallen apart.
 
And I need you now tonight.
And I need you more than ever.
And if you'll only correct tonight.
We'll be holding on forever.
And we'll only be making it right.
Cause it'll never be down forever.
We can take it to the end of the line.
My 401K shadows long now all of the time.
We don't know what to do and we're always in the dark.
We're layed off and our retirement is now a joke.
We really need cash tonight.
Forever's gonna start tonight.
Forever's gonna start tonight.

Once upon a time we were building a life.
But now we're only falling apart.
There's nothing we can do.
A total collapse of the stock.
Once upon a time there was cash in my life.
But now there's only stocks in the dump.
Nothing we can say.
A total collapse of the stock.

(instrumental break)

Turnaround, they cried.
Turnaround, they cried.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I know my stocks will never be as high as I want them to be.
(Turnaround) But every now and then I know the management sold and kept me locked in the way that I am.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I know there's no one from Arthur Andersen as smooth and crooked as you.
(Turnaround) Every now and then I know there's no one any sleazy and there's nothing they just wouldn't do.
(Turnaround they cried) Enron has now fallen apart.
(Turnaround they cried) Enron has now fallen apart.

And I need you now tonight.
And I need you more than ever.
And if you'll only correct tonight.
We'll be holding on forever.
And we'll only be making it right.
Cause it'll never be down forever.
We can take it to the end of the line.
My 401K shadows long now all of the time.
We don't know what to do and we're always in the dark.
We're layed off and our retirement is now a joke.
We really need cash tonight.
Forever's gonna start tonight.
Forever's gonna start tonight.

Once upon a time we were building a life.
But now we're only falling apart.
There's nothing we can do.
A total collapse of the stock.
Once upon a time there was cash in my life.
But now there's only stocks in the dump.
Nothing we can say.
A total collapse of the stock
