5pm Busk
The soulful singer sits and tells us of a story
There's not a subway car in sight
The 9-to-5ers stand and stare back from the platform
He says "until the train comes, you are mine"
"I have learned a thing or two
From my daily watching you
With your neckties pulled up tight
Be sure that through your rushing days
You do not confuse your pay
With the beauty that is life"
We measure miles covered by time that's passed
Don't know our destination or if we're coming back
By the diplomas hanging on the walls
You can phone the family, say you've acheived it all
"I have learned a thing or two
From my daily watching you
With your neckties pulled up tight
Be sure that through your rushing days
You do not confuse your pay
With the beauty that is life"
The soulful singer sits and tells us of a story
He sings a tale without time
Forever and the ride into the sunset
Can hold few lovers in the rush from 9 to 5
"I have learned a thing or two
From my daily watching you
With your neckties pulled up tight
Be sure that through your rushing days
You do not confuse your pay
With the beauty that is life"
