The show is over
It's time to go home
And let yourself rock
And let yourself roll
With the changes that come
You can't do anything
Put your thoughts in your pocket
And your dreams in a sling
It's a long way around
This suburban battleground
Pick you up, then they break you down
I'm leaving this town
For the city
I stare out the window
My mind's far away
Like you are from me
Just like yesterday there was someone
But now I'm alone
Close my eyes for awhile
And wait for the phone to ring
It's a long way around
This suburban battleground
Pick you up, then they break you down
I'm leaving this town
For the city
Another show's over
And I feel the same
The same kind of tired
The same old things
The wheels keep turning
The songs never change
And my fire's still burning
But it's dying with age
It's a long way around
This suburban battleground
Pick you up, then they break you down
I'm leaving this town
For the city
