The Tune of the Leisure Pace

[Verse 1]
From down the block
They came marchin' to the beat
Handin' out trouble to the unsuspecting lot
Formin' up lines, they're all out tonight
Here they go through younger eyes
Another day in the life just idles by
The fool's paradise smilin' on them tonight

[Chorus]
When the lights went down
They were always ready for the action playin' down front
Until life killed the boys at the leisure pace
For the long ride one more time

[Verse 2]
One more time through
A day earns an honest wage for rules
Followed in tune to the artificial lights
Closing up shop, they're all off tonight
Here they come through weary eyes
Another day in the life just idles by
The fool's paradise leaning on them tonight

[Outro]
When the lights went down
They were always ready for the action playin' down front
Until time killed the boys at the leisure pace
For the long ride one more time
Hey, the days have slipped, it seems
To the half seas over their dreams
But they still keep comin' to a different place
For the long ride one more time
Alright
