[Verse 1]

It's good to be here, how've ya 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!

[Chorus]

I don't wanna 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

[Verse 2]

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

And there's something I must tell you today

[Chorus]

You and I both know the score

You can't go on like this forever

So it's with regret I tell you now

That from this moment on, you're on your own

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

The drinks are on me, be my guest

Smoke a cigar? Take the best

Well don't hedge your bets, we can make a deal

You got it in your pocket, now how do you feel?

[Chorus]

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 gotta sink or swim, get off the floor

[Synthesizer Solo]

[Bridge]

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
