Say it's alright Joe
I need another drink
To blow on the glass, so I know I'm alive

Play me a song, Joe, to fill the hours till morning
Then never again will I bother you
Ooh, Build myself a tower, no way in no way out
Then my friends can visit me once in a while

Say it's alright Joe, I need some reassurance
You never know what you might find in the night
Ooh, I'm just a busy bee, still alive in my hive
I'm looking for some other world to dream out my dreams

There were Kings who were laughing in the rain
And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade
And the colours were changing, the sky was in ruins
The lights were all shining on me and on you
Oh, shine on

Say it's alright Joe
The night will soon be over
And nothing and no one will ever know

Open my eyes Joe, I'd like to see the daylight
The clock on the wall says it's time to leave
Never seen the same face twice, never walked the same way
The little love that I have known I keep to myself
If there's a fire, it's asleep in my bed
I must leave it to burn till it burns itself out
Catch as you can, I'm not staying here long
I'll be coming back early or never at all
Shine on
