| [00:14.31] |
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on |
| [00:18.27] |
When you stumble and then you're thrown |
| [00:23.13] |
The last time we say him he was out in the rain |
| [00:27.53] |
Watchin' that train roll down the track |
| [00:32.14] |
Now he's back in showbiz |
| [00:34.36] |
Peddlin' his comeback |
| [00:36.01] |
|
| [00:37.57] |
We know that he's desperate and we know that he's broke |
| [00:41.58] |
He's the mystery guest we'll puncture |
| [00:46.23] |
They told a young girl with a clipboard "Just keep him amused" |
| [00:50.63] |
Whatever you do, don't tell him your name |
| [00:55.49] |
Whatever you say, don't let him drink |
| [00:59.48] |
Under lime, under lime, under lime |
| [01:02.13] |
|
| [01:05.19] |
He whistles out of tune |
| [01:09.60] |
His words don't always rhyme |
| [01:15.25] |
"But we will be right back |
| [01:19.31] |
"We're almost out of time" |
| [01:22.97] |
Down a long corridor he's trying to impress |
| [01:29.77] |
He was helpin' a showgirl fasten up her dress |
| [01:35.63] |
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away |
| [01:42.84] |
And the band starts to play |
| [01:44.29] |
|
| [01:52.89] |
In the violent strip of an undressing room |
| [01:57.20] |
She loosened his grip and started |
| [02:01.50] |
Tell me your story, if you feel so inclined |
| [02:05.80] |
He was a mess, almost resigned |
| [02:11.01] |
Though she could guess, I think you will find |
| [02:15.66] |
She thought, "Oh you know, I wouldn't mind" |
| [02:18.77] |
|
| [02:20.82] |
He asked he boyfriend's name |
| [02:25.18] |
Then her whole family tree |
| [02:30.70] |
She thought "I can't believe it's happening to me" |
| [02:38.54] |
And upset, said "Hey pet: |
| [02:40.29] |
"Would you kindly pass that pill |
| [02:44.40] |
And allow me to just dictate my dying will |
| [02:51.66] |
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away |
| [02:58.22] |
And the band starts to play |
| [03:00.12] |
|
| [03:09.40] |
Jimmy was dreamin' as she uncrossed he legs |
| [03:12.70] |
He shuttered his eyes discreetly |
| [03:17.21] |
And he thought of a drummer and considered a snare |
| [03:22.06] |
But the beat of his heart |
| [03:24.05] |
Said, "Don't even start" |
| [03:26.45] |
His conscience was bare |
| [03:28.61] |
Said, "Hey, don't even dare" |
| [03:30.92] |
She's completely unaware |
| [03:33.52] |
|
| [03:36.18] |
She forced a laugh or a sigh |
| [03:40.48] |
At every alibi |
| [03:46.23] |
Once every crime was confessed |
| [03:51.03] |
He buttoned up his vest |
| [03:53.84] |
Said "Hey gal, you'r a pal |
| [03:56.00] |
"You've really been a sport |
| [03:59.89] |
And you don't get a record |
| [04:03.09] |
If you never get caught |
| [04:06.95] |
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away |
| [04:13.75] |
And the band starts to play |
| [04:20.00] |
|
| [04:37.51] |
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on |
| [04:41.26] |
It's a long way back as you cover your track |
| [04:45.71] |
Or you bury your crime |
| [04:47.81] |
Under lime, under lime, under lime, under lime |
| [04:55.13] |
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on |
| [04:59.29] |
It's a long way back as you cover your track |
| [05:03.29] |
Or you bury your crime |
| [05:05.55] |
Under lime, under lime, under lime, under lime |
| [05:12.16] |
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on |
| [05:17.07] |
It's a long way back as you cover your track |
| [05:21.38] |
As you bury your crime |
| [05:24.56] |
Under lime, under lime, under lime, under lime |
