Mortal Days Lyrics

It's a traffic jam 8 a.m

And I'm singing every song I ever heard

And up in the distance I see a river flowing

And something in me stirs

And whoever said nine to five

That's like seventy percent of my waking life

In the hands of another man's plans

Beneath fluorescent lights

If I could break away

From these mortal days

If I could find a place

Where time would wait for me

Time wait for me

Well it looks like it's gonna be another one of those nights

Working late beneath fluorescent lights

And I'd much rather be

In bed

With my lover resting my head

Telling stories till the morning light

And we wonder why our father's don't know their sons

And we wonder why our children play with guns

And we wonder all these things

In front of our TV's

Then we wonder when the next show is coming on

If I could break away

From these mortal days

If I could find a place

Where time would wait for me

Someday we're going to see

Blue skies

Waiting, above the lights

Someday we're going to see

Blue skies

Waiting, above the lights

Someday we're gonna see

Blue sky

Above the lights

Someday we're gonna see blue skies

If I could break away

From these mortal days

If I could find a place

Where time would wait for me
