Hey Now

My feet were in London
My head in the clouds
And I’m constantly moving
With the holiday crowds
This happy future
Is a thing of the past
I watch the day ending
I watch shadows pass the city’s
Arriving I begin to feel fine
Then the city sits down
And I go out of my mind
I’ve ended up taking
The longest way home
I’m cool but I’m all alone
Hey now I’m out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There’s nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad
Enough for one day now
The edge of the world
Look at the frontpage
And what it did to the girl
Her shit was together
Her feet on the ground
Now it’s sounding like zippers
As the dryer goes round
To the man with the most
Whose face never changes
Enough for one day now
Yeah — I’m cool
Hey now I’m out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There’s nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad hey hey
Just hear what I say
I take the blame
But not the pain pain pain
