about

From the 2011 record "Limelight Afterglow."

lyrics

On Monday morning you awake, to a knock upon your door,
No one seen, no one there, just a note upon the floor,
What's inside, you've not a clue, so you slit the envelope,
Folded paper you undo, you feel your heart inside your throat,

You're walking down the boulevard while the pidgeons fly away in fright,
Sitting on a fire hydrant is a man begging for a light,
It was only one week ago, you ran the risk of losing it all,
Now a quarter million later you find life has a funny way of dropping the ball,

You're living the high life now,
On the street, on the floor, and on solid ground,
You're walking in a top hat now,
Take the time take the things, you've never had before,
You're living the high life now,
On the street, on the floor, and on solid ground,
You're walking in a top hat now,
Take the time take the things, you've never had before

On Sunday morning you awake, by a wife who's still asleep,
She loves you more, than you know, and for her you'll always keep,
Keep your thoughts, keep your heart, on her everlasting trust,
Trust in peace, trust in what, what you know you've always got,

You're living the high life now,
On the street, on the floor, and on solid ground,
You're walking in a top hat now,
Take the time take the things, you've never had before,
You're living the high life now,
On the street, on the floor, and on solid ground,
You're walking in a top hat now,
Take the time take the things, you've never had before
