I will always be an ordinary man
Wrap my kisses up to go
You can tell me lies and place 'em in my hand
When we are through I'll let you know

Sha la la la
It can sometimes take a lot to get away
Sha la la la
Wonder 'til you're thinking slow
Sha la la la
I will never want to wind you up again
Sha la la la
Carried out to close the show

Seen your Eastern hair we've been this way before
Kick my senses out the door
Temp my terror line and don't you want to make
A ten cent hassle nothing more

Sha la la la
I will often get too lost to get away
Sha la la la
Mend my fences on the low
Sha la la la
Dig my trenches 'til it's all OK
Sha la la la
One more whistle left to blow

Well the West coast bend is long and tan
Don't know where to start again
Tell me there's another way to go
For it's four long years, a line of tears
And I've tended to a lock of fears
I haven't got a way to let you know
I haven't got a chance to let you go
