Toerag

Walk out of the door and make my way up the street

Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek

Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain

At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain

Hit the queue for the bus and then join the line

Same faces for the last ten years of my life

See them more than my friends I couldn't tell you their names

Shattered glass on the floor the kids have run out of games

And I don't see that's ever gonna change

One hour passes till I'm back on my feet

A stone's throw I will be walking till I'm off the street

Hang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd

Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves

Turn my back to the clock cause it slows the time

Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike

Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain

Same bands same songs play again and again

And I don't see that's ever gonna change

Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away

And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

From my place of work I move away in haste

Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away

Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief

Gotta catch that train, get myself some relief

I meet up with friends and they knock off at six

I pull at five and walk about for a bit

Watch the world go by through an empty glass

And I know that won't be the last 'so'

Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away

And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

Creep back into bed and I pull up the sheet

High over my head and undercover my feet

Till the room goes dark and i'm miles away

Jump to the alarm and start another day!
