[00:57.740]So you think you're a Romeo
[01:00.690]playing a part in a picture-show
[01:03.340]Take the long way home
[01:06.440]Take the long way home
[01:09.380]Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
[01:13.370]Why should you care if you're feeling good
[01:16.070]Take the long way home
[01:17.770]Take the long way home
[01:23.170]But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
[01:26.900]all the greenery is comin' down, boy
[01:34.590]And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
[01:38.970]furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.
[01:49.120]When lonely days turn to lonely nights
[01:53.450]you take a trip to the city lights
[01:56.550]And take the long way home
[01:58.260]Take the long way home
[02:03.330]You never see what you want to see
[02:06.030]Forever playing to the gallery
[02:09.220]You take the long way home
[02:11.870]Take the long way home
[02:15.950]And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
[02:21.600]unforgettable, how they adore you,
[02:26.990]But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
[02:32.240]oh, calamity, is there no way out?
[03:08.760]Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
[03:12.690]Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
[03:19.590]When you look through the years and see what you could
[03:23.670]have been oh, what might have been,
[03:28.080]if you'd had more time.
[03:33.880]So, when the day comes to settle down,
[03:38.360]Who's to blame if you're not around?
[03:41.560]You took the long way home
[03:44.220]You took the long way home.......
