From down the block they came marching to the beat handing out trouble to the unsuspecting lot forming up lines they're all out tonight here they come through younger eyes another day in the life just idles by the fool's paradise smiling on them tonight when the lights went down they were always ready for the action playing down front until life killed the boys at the leisure pace for the long ride one more time one more time through a day earns an honest wage for rules followed in tune to the artificial lights closing up shop they're all off tonight here they come through weary eyes another day in the life just idles by the fools paradise leaning on them tonight when the lights went down they were always ready for the action playing down front until time killed the boys at the leisure pace for the long ride one more time hey the days have slipped it seems to the half seas over their dreams but they still keep coming to a different place for the long ride one more time.
