Tip of the Iceberg Lyrics

Song Title: Tip of the Iceberg

I was looking for my briefcase
When I saw your pictures on the table
There was one I'd never seen before
You were talking to him

That was the tip of the iceberg
The look that did you in
I should have seen it coming
The beginning of the end
Lying just below the surface
I couldn't see it then
Now I do
Looking at this picture of you

It was cold in my apartment
There were no more words left to say
I heard you whisper to your phone call
When your eyes turned away

That was the tip of the iceberg
The look that did you in
I should have seen it coming
The beginning of the end
Lying just below the surface
I couldn't see it then
Now I do
Looking at this picture of you

I saw the tip of the iceberg
The shape of things to come
Living without motion
Melting in the sun
I saw love without a reason
Lying with someone I never knew, ohh

I was never in love before
I was only mistaken
My heart can't give anymore
It's only breakin', breakin'
I saw the tip of the iceberg...

I saw love without a reason
Holding someone I never knew

I saw was the tip of the iceberg
The look that did you in
I should have seen it coming
The beginning of the end
Lying just below the surface
I couldn't see it then
Now I do
Looking at this picture of you

I saw was the tip of the iceberg
The look that did you in
I should have seen it coming
The beginning of the end
Lying just below the surface
I couldn't see it then
Now I do
Looking at this picture of you

(repeat with ad-lib to fade)

Stephen Bishop (born 14 November 1951 in San Diego, California) is an American singer and guitarist. He had a major hit in 1977 with the song "On and On"; his other hits include "Save It for a Rainy Day," "Everybody Needs Love," and "It Might Be You," the theme from the movie Tootsie. He has also performed many movie themes, including the theme from National Lampoon's Animal House, which he sang in a falsetto voice. He also has a cameo role in that film as the aspiring folksinger whose guitar is smashed by John Belushi in one of the best scenes in the movie. Bishop still keeps the smashed guitar as a memento. Shortly after he appeared in another John Landis movie, The Blues Brothers, as the 'charming trooper' who breaks his watch during the mall chase.

Bishop's song "Separate Lives," from the movie White Nights, was nominated for an Academy Award in 1985, losing out to "Say You, Say Me" from the same film. Bishop wrote it about his breakup with actress Karen Allen, who also appeared in Animal House.
