I need another drink
 To blow on the glass so I know I'm alive

 Play me a song Joe
 To fill the hours till morning
 Then never again will I bother you
 Ooh, build myself a tower
 No way in no way out
 Then my friends can visit me
 Once in a while

 Say it's alright Joe

 I need some reassurance
 You never know what you might find in the night
 Ooh I'm just a busy bee, still alive in my hive
 Looking for some other world
 To dream out my dreams
 There were kings who were laughing in the rain
 And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade
 All the colours were changing, the sky was in ruins
 The lights are all shining on me and on you
 Shine on ...

 Oh, say it's alright Joe
 The night will soon be over
 And nothing and no one will ever know

 Open my eyes Joe
 I'd like to see the daylight
 The clock on the wall says it's time to leave
 Never seen the same face twice
 Never walked the same way
 The little love that I have known
 I keep it to myself

 If there's a fire it's asleep in my bed
 I must leave it to burn until it burns itself out
 Catch as you can I'm not staying here long
 I'll be coming back early or never at all
 Shine on
