Crawl the stairs past the pictures that hung
and a lamp that was lit, on a wall
a quarter past one.
Oh-oh
straight to the room where I wanted to lay
because those were the days of the wine
we're just throwing away
years go by when you're small
Hours are minutes that beat with your heart
Oh, mother told you to wait for your turn
won't you learn?
Leaves for the covers, to offer relief
but the ring of the streets hammer gently,
mocking my sleep
Did you hear the phone ring, mister?
Did you get the diamond ring, sister?
wo-oh-oh
wo-oh-oh
wo-oh-oh
0h-oh-oh
Did you find a new place, honey?
When we gonna get the new puppy?
wo-oh-oh
wo-oh-oh
wo-oh-oh
0h-oh-oh
years go by when you're small
Hours are minutes that beat with your heart
Oh, mother told you to wait for your turn
won't you learn?
everybody, any-everybody
everybody, every-everybody
now.....
everybody, any-everybody
everybody, every-everybody
now.....
Did you hear the phone ring, mister?
Did you get the diamond ring, sister?
now...
Did you find a new place, honey?
When we gonna get the new puppy?
now...
