Show me sign, show me billboards
Something to guide my way
I walk with purpose and darkness
Stumble in the light of day

So won't help me?
Won't help me out?
I'm standing over here

And I'm so tired I can't stay awake
Not fantasy, but so much at stake
When we awake, oh, it's back to business
To the business of hangin' on

And all these one way conversations
Drinks that don't quench my thirst
I look to you for some answers
Your silence, it hangs like a curse

So won't help me?
Won't help me out?
I'm standing over here

And I'm so tired I can't stay awake
Not fantasy, but so much at stake
When we awake, oh, it's back to business
To the business of hangin' on

And to the business of lettin' go
What you do, do it slow
'Cause I can read the lies the minute in your eyes

And I'm so tired I can't stay awake
Not fantasy, but so much at stake
When we awake, oh, it's back to business
To the business of hangin' on

To the business of throwing cold
To the business of facing facts
To the business of lettin' go
