Sooner or Later You're Gonna Have to Do Something About Me

From the back seat of a cab see the lights over that bridge

That stands holding up the skyline just as patient as a pyramid

Though I'm never ready to go

Maybe it's early, maybe it's late

But I ain't run out of reasons

Run out of reasons yet to be wide awake

So you can put flowers around my neck and carry me through the streets

But baby sooner or later you know you're gonna have to do something about me

Before it's too late...

After we've been at the bar

After we've been to the show

After we've paid our regards to every man, woman and child we've ever known

Though I need them all surrounding me

Though I need them all the time

I need to say good morning to the sun before we can say goodnight

So let me dress you up in downtown

Everything begged, stolen and borrowed

Now won't you let me sew a thousand sequins to your sorrows

Oh let me help you see

Sooner or later you're gonna have to do something about me...

Before we get too far away...

So you can put flowers around my neck and carry me through the streets

But baby sooner or later you know you're gonna have to do something about me

Before it's too late

Before it's too late...
