The Hour of Yellow

Vs1
I started on a journey through the neon city lights.
From the rock and steel I cast my reel into the dead of night.
Looking to the future is this a world to raise a child.
I need some prime time to cast a lifeline
To the summer of my life.

My God its only Tuesday, seems I’ve been here for a year.
What a way to start my working life, guess I’m not the pioneer.
The hours are turning slowly, I’m just drifting like the sands.
I need some prime time to cast a lifeline
To the world that’s in my hands.

I’m just an ordinary guy, I see no reason I should lie.
I still believe in all the beauty that I see.
There’s no use in stopping time, those mistakes I made were mine.
Now I’m through, guess I need a little freedom.

In my dreamtime, I see the future
I’ll be playing every game with the cards of a winner
In the real time and it’s a mean time
I’m giving it back to you.
What’s the payback, is the money black
I won’t be the kind of man with the secrets of a sinner
You can burn out, or you can fight back.
I know that you want it too.

I listen to the stories, I hear them every day.
As I fight to free my memories the picture fades to grey.
The nights are getting longer, is this the way its meant to be.
I need some prime time to cast a lifeline
To the summer left in me.
