Could hear the woods in the train whistle echo
Still feel my blood in the river flowing
Downtown the junkies are sleeping
They've managed to quiet their demons, tonight
Not me, mine are wide awake
Got me screaming, keeping me up late
Ooh baby don't it make you think
Oh what does it take?
Building six thousand units out that way
Can't take that road anymore anyway
In my mind the lilacs have bloomed
We'll go skate on the pond in the full moon, tonight
Ooh baby got me wide awake
Got me screaming, keeping me up late
Oh baby one of these days
Maybe we'll get paid to play
Maybe we'll get paid to play
I've got that photograph, that photograph
The one caught us in both in a laugh, both in a laugh
Could hear the woods in that train whistle blowin'
Still feel my blood in that river flowin'
Downtown the junkies are sleeping
They've managed to quiet their demons, tonight
Not me, mine are wide awake
Got me screaming, keeping me up late Ooh baby don't it make you think
Oh what does it take?
Ooh baby got me wide away
Got me Screaming, keeping me up late
Ooh baby, one of these days
Maybe we'll get paid to play
Maybe we'll get paid to play"
