lyrics

The soulful singer sits and tells us of a story
There’s not a subway car in sight
The nine-to-fivers stand and stare back from the platform
He says, “Until the train comes, you are mine”

I have learned a thing or two
from my daily watching you
With your neckties pulled up tight
Be sure that through your rushing days
you do not confuse your pay
With the beauty that is life

We measure miles covered by time that’s passed
Don’t know our destination or if we’re coming back
By the diplomas hanging on the wall
We can phone the family, say we’ve achieved it all

I have learned a thing or two
from my daily watching you
With your neckties pulled up tight
Be sure that through your rushing days
you do not confuse your pay
With the beauty that is life

The soulful singer sits and tells us of a story
He sings a tale without time
“Forever after and the ride into the sunset
can hold few lovers in the rush from nine to five”
