I'm waking up early, too early to be seen
So, I'm taking out the garbage, I 'got to get clean
The Times are all screwed up and the articles scream
The editor's a wise-ass, the issues are steam

So, I take the tram 
And drop a dollar in some bowler hat
And make my way to Vesey Street and
Check the shadows for my own peace of mind
It's really no different now
The chase is on and the tickers keep on playing
I'm just a little older now, and still just a pawn

Don't think I'm vain, it's all about the money now
I'm selling their options, corporate's to blame
The women all made up for the fox and the hound
Their ambitions are so high now, it's all so insane

I hit the newsstand for smoke and a joke
And the usual blasé, and Tina's for the late soiree
Beers and cheers at Montecristo's
And now it's just the boys and me
And who knows why the cards resent me
I don't remember much, none of it rhymes

I'm jogging Northwood to Ravine and Loch
I've never been mugged
I'm customarily unnoticed, when suddenly
I realize, I'm just a little bit older now and never so mean

I'm making my way, can't take nothing with me 
So play, yeah
Pretend it's all for god and country
Talking points and love making shades of grey

And Valerie pays up, and takes me for a ride
For a weekend in Scarsdale, her parents are kind
And everywhere is boxed news
Where the fakers trump the game
I'd rather be at home now, Old Town in Maine

I'm making my way, can't take nothing with me 
So play, yeah
Pretend it's all for god and country
Talking points and love making shades of grey
Just got to get to the end of the day
St. John the Divine, where I kneel and pray
Just in case I'm heading your wayward son, oh
Forget about it, out of my way you fools
Can't be late, I live for today
