A Mission in Life — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)





Sue, turn out the lights

Its time to close upccwere through

Gotta clear it out

So lets drink up, its past two

Girl, dont push em out

They can walk out on their own

How many times I gotta tell you, bob,

You gotta drink up and go home

I dont run a business

Just to talk to you all day



Clear out the backroom, sue

Stack up the chairs

Who broke this glass?

No one really cares

Go take the trash out

And vacuum the stairs

What do i

Pay you for?

And dont forget to sweep up

The glass off the floor





Once I had plans

To fix up this place

A room where you could go to

And meet people with taste

Theyd talk and theyd laugh

And forget the rat race

And Id be just like one of those guys

With the moustache and face

Hey, help me pick up this case





Hey, Im really sorry I blew up then

Ive had no sleep

Ive been up all night with my wife and brother-in-law

You know, pete

At times, this world can seem

Just like a cold icy ball

But dont let that discourage you

cause youre youngcctake that call

And if its my wife

Just try and stall





I was just wondering

How you get home

Do you have a boyfriend?

Or do you live alone?

Im going your way

If youre going mine

No, I feel fine

But before you go

Let me just pass on one thing





Chorus:

Youve got a mission in life

To hold out your hand

To help the other guy out

Help your fellow man

Thats why I own this bar

Theyre thirsty outside

I give em oceans to drink

Then they drown in the tide

Repeat once, then repeat they just drown in the tide four times
