[Verse 1]



Days rollin' by like local construction



The cranes try to scrape some more sky before quitting time



Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done



Days rollin' by like local construction



I'm watching the tenements increase by increments



Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done, no, no



[Chorus]



Fix the car, fix the house



Fix the flaws in myself



It's never done, no, no



It's never done, no, no



Like local construction, it's never done



[Verse 2]



Days rollin' by like local construction



The birds interrupt the CAT while it's parking



Work on it, work at it, work, but it's



Days rollin' by like local construction



Like one big blue tarpaulin draped over scenery



Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done, no, no



[Chorus]



Fix the car, fix the house



Fix the flaws in myself



It's never done



It's never done, no, no



Like local construction, it's never done



Like local construction, it's never done, no no



[Bridge]



I'll forgive my manners



Jackhammers clambering on



[Chorus]



Fix the car, fix the house



Fix the flaws in myself



It's never done



It's never done, no, no



Like local construction, it's never done



Like local construction, it's never done, no no
