That tour that you
got from an old cereal bar
Takes pride of place on
my window ledge
Them pop -cap guns and your
father's
Benson's
Gonna make a man out of you someday
An d ain't it funny how
it's all worked out
You got a job and a family now
An d I'm singing these same old songs
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
But it feels like a matter of days
An d I can run all the games we play
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and
eating in the stars
And then running home for
a tea of mash and gravy
The shipping forecast is on the radio
And mama's in a stress,
says she only does her best
But we don't appreciate where
the money goes
Would you even recognize
me now?
lost love and I've fallen down
Felt the weight of the
world on my shoulders
My young face got a little bit older
Had my heart been torn in two
Surely hope it doesn't happen to you
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and meeting the stars
I won't tie my laces,
I won't brush my hair I won't wear nice dresses on a
Sunday
I'll say three
Hail
Marys and I'll make my peace
Friday night
DJs down the alley
An d ain't it funny how
it's all worked out
She's got a job and a family now
And I'm singing these same old songs
In empty bars and cheap restaurants
But it feels like a matter of days
And I come running all the
games we played
Sitting on the rooftops after dark
Drinking in the sky and eating the stars
And my heart being torn in two
Surely hope it doesn't happen to you
Sittin' on the rooftops of
Godard
Drinkin' in the sky and
eatin' in the store
