A Song for the Lonely 2003-04-21

The End of the Day

You missed your train to the evening
And you need to find another way
You spent the afternoon in drinking
And now you're stuck at the end of the day

So you hitched a ride on the setting sun
Now the day is dead and you've had your fun
And where you'll get dropped off
No one can say

(chorus)

You're wasting too much time thinking
But it won't help you find your way
The sun is inevitably sinking
Till you're stuck at the end of the day

So you hitched a ride on the setting sun
Now the day is dying and you hate to run
But you got to save some for later
So you can still play

(chorus)

Chorus:
Stick out your thumb and wave down a burning ride
You know when the moon comes up you'll have to hide
Cuz she sees all the shit that you have tried
So don't be a fool, just swallow your pride
Finish your drink and come hitch a ride

Come hitch a ride on the setting sun
This day is dead, but here comes another one
And someone new can notice you
So you can stay
