Skinny young man With born again eyes And a Jesus tattoo on his arm Leans on the wall While the traffic goes by The gas-mart at Fairview and Farm A rap song pounds From an '83 Caddy While he waits on a payphone to ring Been standing around since a quarter past nine Still hasn't heard a thing. 24 hours a day 24 hours a day Sign says we're open the man says you pay 24 hours a day. Backed up on Farm Carhorns are screaming Cause some guy's Suburban is stalled. He guesses her daddy Must be back home Otherwise she'd have called He thinks to himself I guess I can't blame him It wasn't so smart what we did A uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee Some women yells at her kid. 24 hours a day 24 hours a day Sign says we're open the man says you pay 24 hours a day. (harmonica solo) Carload of drunks Pulls up in a hurry For a six-pack before its too late. He starts to dial To leave one more message Stops and decides just to wait. Could have been different And maybe it couldn't With some things it's too late to learn. Fumes from the gasoline hang in the air World just continues to turn. 24 hours a day 24 hours a day Sign says we're open the man says you pay 24 hours a day. The skinny young man With born again eyes And a Jesus tattoo on his arm Leans on the wall While the traffic goes by A gas-mart at Fairview and Farm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm.
