There’s a lady in a doorway, and she’s shining like her shoes.

She sits us in a circle for to read the morning rules.

I don’t mean to be a deadbeat. But the beat keeps playin on,

When the little man’s on fire,
G A B
Cause he knows there’s something wrong

Don’t make me keep quiet as my body gets old

There’s a hurricaine a comin’ and it’s comin down the road.

Keepin tickin time is wasteful on the course I must traverse
But the giant shiny people tend to go from bad to worse
When I’m forced to change direction without reason without means
Who’s gonna stop the runnin engines, comin down at breakneck speed
Chorus

A Em
I can see the hope collected in our eyes
A B
And I can feel the strain how hard we all must try
