Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson I get up at seven, yeah, and I go to work at nine. I got no time for livin’. Yes, I’m workin’ all the time. It seems to me I could live my life a lot better than I think I am. I guess that’s why they call me, they call me the workin’ man. They call me the workin’ man. I guess that’s what I am. I get home at five o’clock, and I take myself out a nice, cold beer. Always seem to be wond’rin’ why there’s nothin’ goin’ down here. It seems to me I could live my life …
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Love won’t see my comin’ on a Sunday noon today. Still don’t believe we’re fadin’, but now the world should wait. And now you’re fina’lly list’nin’ to what I have to say. Well, the time is right, and it is today. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe we could talk about it and try to get it straight. After all these years, baby, maybe it’s too late. But I really need to have you by my side, And that’s the only feelin’, baby, I can’t hide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well you aren’t list’nin’, I ain’t talkin’, we ain’t gettin’ nowhere. I keep tryin’ to get …
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee Hey now, baby, well, I like your smile. Won’t you come and talk to me. for a little while. Well, you’re makin’ me crazy, the way you roll them eyes. Won’t you come and sit with me. I’ll tell you all my lies. Hey baby, it’s a quarter to eight. I feel I’m in the mood. Hey baby, the hour is late. I feel I’ve got to move. Well, hey now, baby, Don’t you talk so fast. I’m just try’n’ to make these good times, I’m try’n’ to make it last. Ev’rything’s getting hazy. Now honey, where’d you go? I just want to find out, baby, …
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Well, I see you standin’ there with your finger in the air. Ev’rything we do, you wanna leave it up to you. Who do you think you are? You think you are a star, try’n’ to run the town, always try’n’ to put us down. Well, you think that you’re right. You think you’re out of sight. Tell me something, mister; why’d you have to make us so uptight? Well, you say you’ve been try’n’. You know that you’re ly’n’. I think you need some groovin’. Who do you think you’re foolin’ now? Well, you better start changin’. You life needs rearrangin’. You better do …
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson I said I played this song so many times before that the melody keeps repeating growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes like a mountain river bleeding. Well, I say as I look back, And all the thoughts I’ve had, They reflect just what I’m learning. Yes, you know that the hardest part, Yes, I say it is to stay on top, On top of a world forever churning. Well, you say you can laugh, But I can see that your eyes are glass. Well, do you see, can’t you see, what I’m feeling? Yes, I’ve seen your face before. Why, I’ve seen it everywhere, …
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Well, I’m lookin’ at you, and I’m wond’rin’ what you’re gonna do. Looks like you got no friends, no one to stick with you till the end. Take yourself a friend. Keep ’em till the end. Whether woman or man, it makes you feel so good, so good. Yes, you think you’re all right, and now you’re lonely ev’ry night. Well, you need a friend, someone on whom you can always depend. Take yourself a friend. Keep ’em till the end. Whether woman or man, it makes you feel so good, so good. Yes, you need some advice. Well, let me put it to you …
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson I’m runnin’ here, I’m runnin’ there. I’m lookin’ for a girl. ‘Cause there’s nothin’ I need, there’s nothin’ I want more in the whole wide world. Well, I need it quick and I need it now, before I start to fade away. That’s why I’m searchin’, that’s why I’m lookin’ each and ev’ry day. Oo, I need some love. I said I need some love! Oo yes, I need some love This feelin’ I can’t rise above. Yeah, yeah! Well I been hustlin’ here, I been hustlin’ there. I been searchin’ for about a week. And I started feelin’ this strange sensation. My knees are startin’ gettin’ …
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Yeah, oh yeah! Ooh, said I, I’m comin’ out to get you. Ooh, sit down. I’m comin’ out to find you. Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah. Findin’ my way! I’ve been gone so long I’ve lost count of the years. Well, I sang some sad songs, oh yes, and cried some bad tears. Look out! I’m comin’. Whoa, whoa. Look out! I’m comin’. Whoa, yeah. I’m runnin’, finding my way back home. Oh yeah! Yeah, oh yeah! Ooh, said I, I’m comin’ back to look for you. Ooh, sit down. I’m goin’ by the back door. Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah. Findin’ my way! You’ve done me …
