IM ON A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN A MAN COMES AROUND

AND HE GOT LINES IN THE SUIT

COMING OUT TO MAKE US MOOT

I'M MOVING ON NOW IF I LIKE IT OR NOT

HE SAYS I'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW

HE'S PAINTING IT OUT LIKE I DON'T WANT TO KNOW



THE PICTURE HAS COME DOWN

I'M TAKING IT OFF AND THROWING IT OUT

THE PICTURE IS ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN EASIER

THE PICTURE IS COMING AROUND NOW

HOW COME I FEEL SO WASHED UP

AT SUCH A SUCH A TENDER AGE NOW

HOW COME I FEEL SO WASHED UP

THE PICTURE IS COMING AROUND NOW

IT COULD HAVE BEEN EASIER

AT SUCH A SUCH A TENDER AGE



I'M LISTENING TO THE COMFORTING SOUND

OF SOME KIND OF WORK BEING DONE OUTSIDE

OF SOUNDS FROM NEXT DOOR THE WALLS DONT HIDE

I'M LISTENING TO MOUNTAIN TO SOUND

AND THE WAY IT'S PANNED IS COOL

BUT WHEN I GET BACK HOME TO YOU

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT TOO



THE HUMAN RESOURCE CLERK

HAS TWO CIGARETTES AND BACK TO WORK

SHE EATS RIGHT BUT HURTS

AND SHE SAYS IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD BY NOW

IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A WAGE YEAH

HOW COME SHE FEELS SO WASHED UP

AT SUCH A SUCH A TENDER AGE NOW

IT COULD HAVE BEEN EASIER

IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A WAGE

HOW COME SHE FEELS SO WASHED UP AT SUCH A TENDER AGE



IM ON A STRAIGHT LINE AND A MAN COMES AROUND

AND I GOT NOWHERE TO GO

COME BACK AND TELL SOMETHING I DONT KNOW
