Straight Shot |
I can draw a straight line |
Through my mind |
Right back to the good times |
Back when all the stars were aligned |
Before all the paperwork got signed |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
It’s like a straight shot |
Through the backyards and the vacant lots |
Through the varied chambers of my heart |
To the part of town that even you seem to have forgot |
Aah, aah, aah, aah |
Now it’s just a short ride |
Over to the east-side |
It’s where my true love |
Still resides |
Where all my dreams go to die |
And my life is just around the bend |
And these broken hearts can mend |
It just takes time, time, time |
It takes time, time, time |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ours was the tale |
That never would end |
Doors were gonna open |
And rules were gonna bend |
Now it doesn’t matter |
Who they send |
Can’t hold a candle to you |
My fair-weather best friend |
Now I’m stuck in the slow lane |
On the useless side of my brain |
The one that drives |
A thinking man insane |
Wishing his circumstances |
Never have to change |
And my life is just around the bend |
And these broken hearts can mend |
It just takes time, time, time |
It takes time, time, time |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Now that i’m single, fine |
I’ll walk a sentimental mile |
Over blue mosaic tiles |
Our souls did co-mingle for a little while |
And my life is just around the bend |
And these broken hearts can mend |
It just takes time, time, time |
It takes time, time, time |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
That’s why I draw a straight line |
Through my mind |
Right back to the good times |
Back when all the stars were aligned |
Before all the paperwork got signed |
I make that quick line |
Over to the east side |
Where my true love |
Still resides |
Where all my dreams go to die |
