We're going to go downtown

I hear this great new place has opened up

And when we get there

I don't know It's taken ages

Don't you know



How long how long

Will this go on

How long how long

Time drags on

How long I find I

can't go on much longer now



But the place in question's hard to find

Not a cab ride to the door

As you wonder in your doubtful mind

Is it really worth all that and more



We seem to be a little lost or something

I'm not really sure about the choice we're making

The toil it's taking on



How long how long

Will this go on

How long how long

The time drags on

How long

I find I can't go on much longer now



But the place in question's hard to find

Like an illness with no cure

And our heads are getting wearier

And our hearts are less than pure

Less than pure



How long I find

I can't go on much longer now



And the place in question's hard to find

Not a cab ride to the door

And our heads are getting wearier

And our hearts are less than pure
