GENESIS - Down & Out lyrics

rate me

It's good to be here! how've you been?

Check my bagsboy! where's my room?

I sit on the phonethat's my game

Keep up the pressure all the way!

I don't want to beat about the bush

But none of us are getting any younger.

There's people out there who could take your place.

A more commercial view! a fresher face!

I need a showertake a nap

I'll meet you in the barwe must have a rap.

There's a lot on the linea lot to say.

There's something I must tell you today.

You and I both know the score

You can't go on like this forever.

So it's with regret that I tell you now

That from this moment on

You're on your own!

I don't talk round cornersit's right between the eyes

If you're slow they'll run past you

Stand tallsee them falling over.

I walk a straight lineit's right between the eyes.

Well show me the doorshow me someone who'll do it better.

The drinks are on mebe my guest.

Smoke a cigar? take the best.

Don't hedge your betswe can make a deal

You got it in your pockethow do you feel?

So glad that's overnow you know

But I'm only acting under orders.

And looking down on you from way up here.

You've got to sink or swimget off the floor!

I don't talk round cornersit's right between the eyes

If you're slow they'll run past you

Stand tallsee them falling over

I walk a straight lineright between the eyes.

Well show me the doorshow me someone who'll do it better.
