Lyrics

The letters fall together
There’s a signature in time
I've dotted all my quarter notes
And proofread all my lines

All the kids are hanging 'round
Tryin' to get their kicks
Me, I'm worrying about the backbeat
And listening for the sixth

Oh no, I gotta go
And it can't wait long, I gotta go
Everything I know's gone wrong

There's a band who sleeps beside
A church with purple doors
And a lonely man who asks the time
Yes, I've seen him here before

There's a crowd outside a cinema
Trying to form a line
Me, I pull apart a melody
And try to make it rhyme

Oh no, I gotta go
And it can't wait long, I gotta go
Everything I know's gone wrong

An old woman hurling epithets
At every passer-by
A little boy holds out his hand
And stares blank at the sky

My penmanship is caving in
I check my vital signs
I've only got so long to live
And I'm running out of time

Oh no, I gotta go
And it can't wait long, I gotta go
Everything I know's gone completely wrong
