The time is too short
But never too long
To reach ahead
To project the image
Which will in time become a concrete dream
Another cigarette
Another day
From A to B
Again avoiding C, D, and E
'cause E is where you play the blues
Avoiding a death
Is to win the game
To avoid relegation
The big E

Drowning in the big swim
Rising to the surface
The smell of you
That's the lowdown
