Take The Long Way Home

[Intro]

So you think you're a Romeo

Playing a part in a picture show

[Chorus]

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

[Verse 1]

Because you're the joke of the neighbourhood

Why should you care if you're feeling good

[Chorus]

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

[Verse 2]

But there are times that you feel

You're part of the scenery

All the greenery is coming down boy

And then your wife seems to think

You're part of the furniture

Oh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights

You take a trip to the city lights

[Chorus]

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

[Verse 3]

You never see what you want to see

Forever playing to the gallery

[Chorus]

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

[Verse 4]

And when you're up on stage

It's so unbelievable

Unforgettable - how they adore you

But then your wife seems to think

You're losing your sanity

Oh, calamity, is there no way out

Well does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe

Oh it has to be for you to grow boy

And when you look through the years

And see what you could have been

Oh what you might have been

If you'd had more time

So when the day comes to settle down

Well who's to blame if you're not around

[Outro]

You took the long way home

Took the long way home[repeat until fade]
