Lyrics
As the sun sets on the GlaxoKline Well, it's the only way that I can tell the time Bright neon bikes on the hillside Mosquito nets, they cover the buildings On Concrete Island, I wave at the businessmen On Concrete Island, well, I hope my dinner is warm On Concrete Island, I wave at the businessmen On Concrete Island, well, I've been here far too long Well, I'm speeding along, speeding along (I go from pharmacy to pharmacy) I go through the windshield (and from the shop to the floor) I'm speeding along, speeding along (he says "It's time you don't get back") Well, I hope my dinner is warm (from the other side of the wall) I'm speeding along, speeding along (when all of this has come to light) I pray to the G.S.K. (I'll be the one to deplore) I'm speeding along (with the time I didn't get back) I'm speeding along (pharmacy to pharmacy) (And from the shop to the floor) I'm speeding along (he says "It's time you don't get back") (From the other sweet spot side of the wall)
