Genesis – Down & Out
It´s good to be here! how?ve you been?
Check my bags, boy! where´s my room?
I sit on the phone, that´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 shower, take a nap
I´ll meet you in the bar, we must have a rap
There´s a lot on the line, a 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 corners, it´s right between the eyes
If you´re slow they´ll run past you,
Stand tall, see them falling over
I walk a straight line, it´s right between the eyes
Well show me the door, show me someone who?ll do it better
The drinks are on me, be my guest
Smoke a cigar? take the best
Don´t hedge your bets, we can make a deal,
You got it in your pocket, how do you feel?
So glad that´s over, now you know,
But I´m only acting under orders
And looking down on you from way up here
You´ve got to sink or swim, get off the floor!
I don´t talk round corners, it´s right between the eyes
If you´re slow they´ll run past you,
Stand tall, see them falling over,
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes
Well show me the door, show me someone who?ll do it better
