The sun shines and it makes me feel better
My eyes half opened up
A shower and a cup of tea
Putting thoughts where there were dreams
Hold back, put me trough to my conscience
The thing can’t wait another day
I’ll look inside my bag of plans
Pick out one to get a grip
I was pretty upset about something
But won’t chew over that again
‘cos right and wrong as high and low
Depend on what floor you’re on
I was checking the things I know
It didn’t take too long, but I’ll give you one
That I don’t want to let you down
I hope you’ll do the same for me
Keep the wheel rolling on
And don’t give up
Don’t sit waiting for the lights to change
‘cos every locked door
could hide gold
Sooner or later you will pay for all
But the chance won’t come again
The moonlight turns it all to stone
And all your reasons seem so far
I get relaxed and ask for more
In this smoky room I’m in
Some try to give you their do’s and don’ts
While you see they’re stumbling like spinning-tops
And after all, like everyone,
I’m the one and only me
