(Egan) When I take a look around me I wonder how the sun's so sure, he knows the way, And why he doesn't stray, and if he spends the day Looking for
Well, I used to sit the whole night just like a stone I could not move anywhere Everyone was talking, everyone but me I didn?t know why I was there Now
(Rafferty/Egan) Riding on the subway watching all the people stare, Everyone just listens, they won't do any talking, oh no, whoa no. They just sit there
Genuflect, show respect, don?t forget it?s a papal command Take your seat, all you need is your rosary beads in your hand Time to start, cross your heart
Got to get back to the telephone Make some money from a complete unknown I know everything that I?ve got to say I know ?cause I?m a good businessman
(Egan) Woke up this morning, I got out of bed, Too late to go to work a?? walked my dog instead. I don't try too hard, but I get by. You don't have
Late again when I get home You be waiting still you know There ain't no use in you complaining I know that I can show some respect Especially when I
was down and I was so hung up, drinkin' whiskey from a paper cup, Can't get out of the mood I'm in, waitin' for everybody to begin, Turn the wheel, come
Well, I was working for the tax man Digging out the facts at the Inland Revenue I was slowly going nowhere, thinking it was somewhere There was nothing

Each day you try on a different person Trying to find out who you really are Now I think I have a way of knowing When I?m very close I?m not too far
Do you remember back in ?64? You came a-knockin?, knockin? on my door Yeah, you really got me going, but you kept me on ice I didn?t care where I was
Living way down here and you're way up there When I get this way, well, I can't feel you anywhere Can't feel you anywhere And I don't even care in this
It looked so good from the outside, I couldn't wait to join the crowd It all looked different on the inside It must have been my imagination I felt so
I was alone, I was so tired Down to my bones And you know everything Every little moment had lost its ring I found my way to you, you came right out
We sat up talking right on through the night And the day had just begun Then you said let's take a walk outside And watch the rising of the sun And over
Looking for something, looking for one thing Trying to find anything that makes you feel Gotta keep goin?, don?t let it get you down Now you?ve got nothing
(Egan) It's a dead-end job and the money is low, And the time goes by so slow. If I stay too long it could bring me down, So I might as well take another
