Charlotte's there in organdy and Billy's there in suede, there’s money in their pockets and all the dues are paid. There's wine on every table and food on every plate, well, I hope I get there pretty soon before it gets too late. [Interlude] | | | | | [Verse 2] Someone asked me what time it was and I told him it was now, he asked me just what that might mean but time would not allow. So, I gave away my watch to a passing businessman, well, I hope he understands it now cause I've done the best I can. It was getting early, so I rushed away from there with that ancient earth beneath my feet and new dust in my hair. [Verse 3] Well, I ran on down the road a while to the other side of town, my clothes were gettin' wrinkled and my socks were fallin' down. But I could not stop to pull them up for fear that I'd be late, so, I kept on runnin' down the road until I saw the gate of the Early Bird Cafe, glowin' golden like the sun, everybody kept on singing, saying: "Come on in, we've just begun!" [Interlude] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * | | [Verse 4] So, I went right in and I set right down and I ordered up some wine, the talk was fast and clever and the women all were fine. Charlotte asked me where I'd been with her jade and ivory eyes, I told her I'd been hung up with some begger in disguise. Well, she laughed like temple bells, kissed me on the cheek and said: "You know it's hard to be alive sometimes but it's easy to be dead!" [Outro] | | | | * ||
