how come you ain't listnin' to me
said the dude with the bottle in his hand
don't you know that the sky comin' down like a load
of bricks from a dimp truck
but you can't see it 'cause you're stuck
in your little fairy tale land
can't see the road's end
can't see the cliff's edge
can't hear a thing 'cause of the noise in your head
i walk along, i just wave
i tell that freak he can just have a nice day
he yells at my back as i move down the track
with my half-time new-found cadence
someone is waitin', i can't be delayin'
he keeps yellin' but i ain't listening
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
and i ain't ever gonna give it up
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
and i ain't ever gonna give it up
hold out your hand, take this bottle
you can tell me how you did tomorrow
this stuff will make you feel like ceasar
keep it tucked way back in the freezer
and if you run out there aint no doubt
it ain't no trouble to make it out to your house
i'll bring the trim and the beefeater gin
anything you want, anything you're missin'
(chorus)
i'm surrounded by the vibration of the moving people
some of them busy, some of them lonely
some of them, i just can't tell
but in the shadows and reflections
the hidden question still confounds
the subconcious mind of the ever searching
the lost and looking, the poor and wanting
the unanswered question still hangs looming
above the wild and restless city
that dares the rich man and the begger
to look inside the empty doorway
where is found the fragile answer
resting in an unseen corner
love is all we have and is all we ever will have
i climb the stairs up to a door
i turn the knob i cross the floor
i hang my coat on that thing that you bought
from the 99 cent store
i go 9 steps on down the hall
i hear goodtimes deville on
i know that you've been busy
i ask you to wait but you aint listening
(chorus)
