[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
