Deal

It’s right about time, to punch the clock

Just got word around the block

See those birds flying high

While life is passing, passing by

 

Trying to ride, to ride the rails

Future is coming, so they say

Orpheus descended, so poets tell

There’s more to it, than heaven and hell

Excuse me now,

Is living a crime?

Hey now buddy

Am I doing time?

For crying out loud

I’m lost in the crowd

You’re all around?

Without a sound

You’ve got to play, play your part

That’s the part that obeys the heart

So pick your card, hang in there

And get yourself your one way fare

Excuse me now,

Is living a crime?

To cross the river

Do you, still need a dime?

For crying out loud

Is this for real?

Hey now, buddy, can’t you…

Can’t you cut me a deal?
