lyrics

I get off of work at 4:00
By 4:30 I'm out the door
What a shame to wear retail raiment
When the sun is beating on the pavement

I've been busy earning all day
Working hard, there's no time for play
My muscles arrive at separate conclusions,
And just like my spine, which is in revolution;

The wheels on the bus go round and round
As I'm makin' my way downtown, downtown
To you, to you
I'm stopping for pizza for us to eat
But I wish we had a sunset to make the night
Complete, complete

At the bus stop, the street lamps are on
I close my eyes and think fondly upon
When I watched the sun set over the parking lot
Of the BedMart on Ferry Road, and I thought

I was ready for anything
But then you told me that you had seen
The same red sunset fade to the ground
And just like my head, which is spinning around

The wheels on my bike go round and round
As I'm makin' my way downtown, downtown
To you, to you
We won't watch the stars, 'cause of light pollution
But a CD player is a better solution
Tonight, tonight
