Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves
|
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
|
Holiday sky, midnight clear
|
Wind is high, hard to steer
|
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
|
In search of some rest, in search of a break
|
From a life of tests where something's always at stake
|
Where something's always so far
|
What about my broken car?
|
What about my life so far?
|
What about my dream?
|
What about.....
|
|
What about everything?
|
What about aeroplanes?
|
And what about ships that drank the sea?
|
What about...
|
What about the moon and stars?
|
What about soldier battle scars
|
And all the anger that they eat?
|
I am not in need
|
|
Get away and come with me
|
Come away with me and we'll see
|
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
|
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
|
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
|
I think about time for fun
|
I think about time for play
|
Then I think about being done, with no resume
|
With no one left to blame
|
What about fortune and fame?
|
What about your love to obtain?
|
What about the ring?
|
What about....
|
|
What about everything?
|
What about aeroplanes?
|
And what about ships that drank the sea?
|
What about...
|
What about the moon and stars?
|
What about soldier battle scars
|
And all the anger that they eat?
|
I am not in need
|
|
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some reason me
|
The hometown harbor lights bright, the sailboats clatter in vain
|
Holiday sky, midnight clear
|
Wind is high on this pier
|
I find it hard to complain when compared with what about...
|
|
What about everything?
|
What about aeroplanes?
|
And what about ships that drank the sea?
|
What about...
|
What about the moon and stars?
|
What about soldier battle scars
|
And all the anger that they eat?
|
What about...
|
What about aliens? What about you and me and...
|
What about gold beneath the sea?
|
What about...
|
What about when buildings fall?
|
What about that midnight phone call...
|
The one that wakes you from your peace?
|
Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need
|
