Its the same it’s the same scene playing Playing out all around you One hand tucked in a blue jean pocket One lace tied on two torn shoes Holding out, holding out hope that someone will cramp your style
Could I, could I get to know you for a little while? Could I, could I get to know you for
It’s the light, its the stoplight cooking Cooking dreams up inside you Feet are tapping a tired rhythm Sweat still blacking your old blues Holding on to some set of rules You’re dying to leave behind
Could I, could I get to know you for a little while? Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
All day long, scheming up ways To lift yourself off the ground All day long, for goodness sake Doesn’t it bring you down? So I, I think we should go
Thin green papers are stacked together In a big hollow mountain All too easy to stack them higher Till there’s no one around well I wanna go, where nobody cares for building a bigger pile
Could I, could I get to know you for a little while? Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
