Genesis - Down and out - 2007 - remaster lyrics

It's good to be here! How've you been? Check my bags, boy! Where's my room? I sit on the phone, that's my game Keep up the pressure all the way! I don't want to beat about the bush But none of us are getting any younger There's people out there who could take your place A more commercial view! A fresher face! I need a shower, take a nap I'll meet you in the bar, we must have a rap There's a lot on the line, a lot to say There's something I must tell you today You and I both know the score You can't go on like this forever So it's with regret that I tell you now That from this moment on You're on your own! I don't talk round corners, it's right between the eyes If you're slow they'll run past you Stand tall, see them falling over I walk a straight line, it's right between the eyes Well show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better The drinks are on me, be my guest Smoke a cigar? Take the best Don't hedge your bets, we can make a deal You got it in your pocket, how do you feel? So glad that's over, now you know But I'm only acting under orders And looking down on you from way up here You've got to sink or swim, get off the floor! I don't talk round corners, it's right between the eyes If you're slow they'll run past you Stand tall, see them falling over I walk a straight line, right between the eyes Well show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better
