A Mission In Life Lyrics


Stan Ridgway A Mission In Life

Sue, turn out the lights
It's time to close up we're through
Gotta clear it out so let's drink up
It's past two
Girl, don't 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 don't run a business just to talk to you all day
Clear ou 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 don't foget to sweep  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
They'd talk and they'd laugh and forget the rat race
And I'd be just like on of those guys
With the moustache and face
Hey, help me lift up this case
Hey, I'm really sorry I blew up
Then I've had no sleep
I've 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 don't let that discourage you
'Cause you're young...take that call
And if it's my wife, just try and stall
I was just wondering how you get home
Do you have a boyfriend or do you live alone?
I'm going your way if you're going mine
No...I feel fine
But before you go just let me paass on one thing
You got a mission in life
To hold out your hand
to help the other guy out
Help your fellow man
That's why I own this bar
They're thirsty outside
I give them oceans to drink
Then they drown in the tide
They just drown in the tide...
