I understand
the roads are narrow
and you're driving much too slow
first you come find me
then you go quiet
how long can you hold your breath
before you wait too long

you're so lucky
we all agree
you hold your heart out
for everyone to see
you've got money but you'd better not stay
no don't you wait too long

you've got problems
that you can't confess
you've got an eye dear inside your dress
you've got a highway
behind your smile
don't you wait too long

now it's midnight
in the hall of fame
you try to telephone but you can't explain
you go upstairs
and you never come down
how long can you hold your breath
before you wait too long
