lyrics

Waking up at 4 am
it's kind of like a holiday
you feel you should be paid to take
now you're standing on the side of the road

You're holding what a waitress saves
in a bar where the cleavage pays
holding all the dreams
you couldn't leave behind

I saw your face in the crowd last night
you looked like you did on our wedding day
you stood below and exit sign
in the bar the communist's daughter

Last night distracted by it all
up there on the TV screen
I saw a man become a dream
how many roads he had to walk

But half of them were not his own
a relay race for rolling stones
I saw the waitress didn't wipe the tears from her eyes

I saw your face in the crowd last night
you looked like you did on our wedding day
you stood below an exit sign
looking like a communist's daughter

Standing on the side of the road
it's been a while since I've been here
and all the clocks have disappeared
wondering what is gonna happen next
