the gentle little elaine,

spinning his hat on a cane

stepping out, out for change

"good morning all, it's a beautiful day"



the generals are winning a war

seemed suicidal before

you came alone, now

i'll protect you, long as you stay



lllllaaaaa

one of a kind

you'll be walking in the sun

living in the day

last night i was about to throw it all away



if patience started a band,

i'd be her biggest fan

look at me, i'm talking to you

i don't want the lead in your play



the star's just a part of the scene

the gentle man in green

paying off, out on the street

i can't go home, it's not on my way



llllllaaaaaa

things are never done, car's parked in the sun

living in the day

last night i was about to throw it all away (4 times)
