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
