roll it over
and you will see
The city streets
are full of people
going nowhere
making time
The change from
night to day
is really only hours
it's just along the line
Can't you see the sign?

won't somebody
throw me down a line
The city streets
are full of people
going nowhere
making time
The change from
night to day
is really only hours
it's just along the line
Can't you see the sign?
When I closed my eyes
I was so surprised
Somebody had
thrown me down
the line
stopped me drownin'
Somebody had
thrown me down
the line
Somebody
