Genesis - Down And Out lyrics

Your rating:

Check my begs boy! Where's my room?
 Gotta 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, must have a rap
 There's a lot on the line, a lot to say
 And there's something I must tell you today

 You and I both knew the score
 You can't go on like this for ever
 So it's with regret I tell you now
 That from this moment on
 You're on your own

 I don't talk round corners, 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
 But just 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
 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 gotta sink or swim, get off the floor!

 I don't talk round corners, 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
 But just show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better
