Down and Out

[Verse 1]
It's good to be here! How've you been?
Check my bags, boy! Where's my room?
Gotta sit on the phone, that's my game
Keep up the pressure all the way!

[Chorus 1]
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, fresher face

[Verse 2]
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
And there's something I must tell you today

[Chorus 2]
You and I both knew the score
You can't go on like this forever
So it's with regret that I tell you now
That from this moment on
You're on your own!

[Refrain]
I don't talk round corners, 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
But show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better

[Verse 3]
The drinks are on me, be my guest
Smoke a cigar? Take the best
Don't hedge your bets, we can make a deal
Got it in your pocket, how do you feel?

[Chorus 3]
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 gotta sink or swim, get off the floor!

[Refrain]
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
But show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better
