SO YOU THINK YOU´RE A ROMEO

PLAYING A PART IN A PICTURE-SHOW

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME



´CAUSE YOU´RE THE JOKE OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE IF YOU´RE FEELING GOOD

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME



BUT THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU FEEL

YOU´RE PART OF THE SCENERY

ALL THE GREENERY IS COMIN´DOWN, BOY

AND THEN YOUR WIFE SEEMS TO THINK

YOU´RE PART OF THE FURNITURE

OH, IT´S PECULIAR, SHE USED TO BE SO NICE



WHEN LONELY DAYS TURN TO LONELY NIGHTS

YOU TAKE A TRIP TO THE CITY LIGHTS

AND TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

YOU NEVER SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE

FROM EVERYTHING TO THE GALLERY

YOU TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

AND WHEN YOU´RE UP ON THE STAGE

IT´S SO UNBELIEVABLE,UNFORGETTABLE

HOW THEY ADORE YOU

BUT THEN YOUR WIFE SEEMS TO THINK

YOU´RE LOSING YOUR SANITY

OH, CALAMITY, OH IS THERE NO WAY OUT!



DOES IT FEEL THAT YOUR LIFE´S BECOME A CATASTROPHE!

OH, IT HAS TO BE FOR YOU TO GROW, BOY

WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH THE YEARS

AND SEE WHAT YOU COULD HAVE BEEN

OH, WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

IF YOU´D HAD MORE TIME



SO, WHEN THE DAY COMES TO SETTLE DOWN,

WHO´S TO BLAME IF YOU´RE NOT AROUND?



YOU TOOK THE LONG WAY HOME

YOU TOOK THE LONG WAY HOME
