[Verse 1]

Days rollin' by like local construction

The cranes try to scrape some more sky before quitting time

Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done

Days rollin' by like local construction

I'm watching the tenements increase by increments

Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done, no no

[Chorus]

Fix the car, fix the house

Fix the flaws in my self

It's never done, no-no

It's never done, no-no

Like local construction

It's never done

[Verse 2]

Days rollin' by like local construction

The birds interrupt the CAT while it's backing up

Work on it, work at it, work, but it's...

Days rollin' by like local construction

Like one big, blue tarpaulin’s draped over scenery

Work on it, work at it, work, but it's never done, no-no

[Chorus]

Fix the car, fix the house

Fix the flaws in myself

It's never done

It's never done, no-no

Like local construction

It's never done

Like local construction

It's never done, no-no

[Bridge]

I'll forget my manners

This headache's so stammering

This jackhammer's clamoring on

[Chorus]

Fix the car, fix the house

Fix the flaws in myself

It's never done

It's never done, no-no

Like local construction

It's never done

Like local construction
