just when it seems that the day is done
watch the last rays of the setting sun
and I get that feeling again
the daylight is ending but the day hasn't come to an end yet
tried the whole day but it got away
just when I thought I'd get nothing done
I get that feeling again
the daylight is over but the workday is only begun
the days are so short and the nights so long
clarity rarely comes along
'til I get that feeling again
like nothing else matters except for the matter at hand
the day doesn't end 'til we say that it's over and
do it all over again
tomorrow we may try a different way
and make up the hours that we lost today
and hope for that feeling again
hope for that feeling again

Circle Line

see her riding on the circle line
taking pictures and passing time
doesn't matter if it's rain or shine
you can find her riding on the circle line
she had never been to nyc
but somehow knew it's where she wanted to be
a secretary working 9 to 5
weekends you could find her on the circle line
riding riding on the circle line
doesn't matter if it's rain or shine
had a boyfriend worked in radio
he could get tickets to any show
took her dancing every saturday night
sunday you could find her on the circle line
lived on lexington and 38th
they were living fast and working late
they could always pay the rent on time
then they'd go out riding on the circle line
riding riding on the circle line
doesn't matter if it's rain or shine

All I Ever Wanted

driving down 5th avenue
wishing I was one of you
as long as I recall that's all I ever wanted
with you when the sun goes down
wreaking havoc on the town
call me crazy but it's all I ever wanted
maybe if I'm lucky
you'll tell me that you like me
maybe if I'm lucky
you'll put me in a movie
take me to a shopping mall
take me anywhere at all
as long as it's cheap and trashy that's alright
take me to a party and
make believe I'm with the band
even though it's wrong you know I'll play along
maybe if I'm lucky
you'll tell me that you like me
maybe if I'm lucky
you'll put me in a movie

breath in and float to the top
breath out and sink to the bottom
everywhere I only found
trouble trouble all around

all I long for at the end of a long day
to be together with some people I know
to hang around until the glasses are empty
everyone needs somewhere to go
I'm exhausted but I can't fall asleep
the only thing that I've got energy for
to sit around until you hear the last call
everyone needs somewhere to go
I see the felt is coming up from the table
I hear the buzzcocks on the jukebox on low
hang around until the ashtray is full
everyone needs somewhere to go
