Six O'Clock Sun
Words & Music by Mick Brady
I've got a picture in my head that no one else can see
I'm gonna paint it soon, it's a picture of me
Get it down on canvas and put it to a frame
When you take a look you're gonna be surprised
'Cos all you ever noticed was one of the boys
And all you ever wanted was a whole lot more of the same
Shake the five o'clock shadows, take the six o'clock sun
Drinking nine o'clock tequilas having ten o'clock fun
You're riding on the night train but it won't take you home
You're like a drunk on a tightrope, you know you can't fall
But you gotta keep moving 'cos you're dead if you stall
Why don't you just admit it, you don't know where you're goin'
There's a line somewhere that no one else can see
Divides who you are from who you want to be
Get over that line, you're never gonna return
You don't wanna leave your life in the lost and found
But it's a fight to the end and you've been losing some ground
When you cross all your bridges, there's nothing left to burn
Take a look at all the signs pointing out of here
Forget the little voices whispering in your ear
