Walk past the dock haulers
Subway with the white collars
Read the times
Avoid their eyes
Dream of the view
From the roof
It must be the sun's fault
A workaday world falls apart
The streets reflect the heat
Still feel the light
Even late at night
In an oven
On and on
Wheels are stalling
Leaves are falling
In an oven
On and on
Wheels are stalling
Leaves are falling
And souls grow cold with days
From too much light
Still wanting more
To make it pay
In an oven on and on
Wheels are stalling
Leaves are falling
In an oven
On and on
Wheels are stalling
Leaves are falling
