One Long Day |
City life is closing in on me |
The way things go, thirty years |
Bus timetable’ll be my elergy |
Up at seven every working day |
Pay comes in, pay goes out |
It’s a week-by-week charade |
General panic in the marketplace |
Boss found hung in office |
Could not stand the pace |
And as the peak-hour traffic jams below |
Someone gets the story, somebody spread the rumour |
People come and go |
You go to move |
You got to go |
You go to be somebody |
You got to roll |
You got to stop |
You got to change |
You got to make a little money |
And be a little strange |
Wandered down along the river last night |
Call me romantic, I say I couldn’t sleep |
Until the first-light struck me down |
Padding homeward on the inside lane |
Early morning, freeway’s cool and quiet |
Dodging rubber stains |
People talking in a seaside bar |
I ain’t sentimental, but Lord |
Sometimes I get that gypsy urge to travel far |
You know I’ll disappear some long weekend |
Find a mangrove landscape |
Stretch out along some busted jetty |
And forget who I am |
You go to move |
You got to go |
You go to be somebody |
You got to roll |
You got to stop |
You got to change |
You got to make a little money |
And be a little strange |
And one long day |
Is all it takes to steal her heart away |
One long night |
And it’s allright, you’ve done it again |
Soft, low words |
And slender ladies, beneath the cafe fans |
One long day |
Layed by dreams |
Cotton dresses, a Spanish border town |
Dreams so far |
From the subway, the crowds heading home |
Close each day |
In technicolor, a million miles away |
One long night and you’re alone |
Meanwhile |
City ways |
Life goes creeping on |
Sometimes |
I get the blues |
