Down And Out Lyrics

It's good to be here, how've you been?
Check my bags, boy where's my room?
I 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, we must have a rap
There's a lot on the line, a lot to say
There's something I must tell you today

You and I both know the score
You can't go on like this forever
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
It's right between the eyes
If you're slow they'll run past you
Stand tall, see them falling over

I walk a straight line
It's right between the eyes
Well 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
You got it in your pocket and how 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 got to sink or swim, get off the floor

I don't talk round corners
It's 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
Well show me the door
Show me someone who'll do it better
