We`re going to go downtown 
I hear this great new place has opened up 
And when we get there
I don`t know It`s taken ages
Don`t you know
How long how long 
Will this go on 
How long how long 
Time drags on
How long I find I
can`t go on much longer now 
But the place in question`s hard to find
Not a cab ride to the door 
As you wonder in your doubtful mind 
Is it really worth all that and more
We seem to be a little lost or something 
I`m not really sure about the choice we`re making 
The toil it`s taking on 
How long how long 
Will this go on 
How long how long 
The time drags on 
How long
I find I can`t go on much longer now
But the place in question`s hard to find
Like an illness with no cure
And our heads are getting wearier 
And our hearts are less than pure
Less than pure 
How long I find 
I can`t go on much longer now
And the place in question`s hard to find 
Not a cab ride to the door
And our heads are getting wearier 
And our hearts are less than pure
