I understand 
the roads are narrow 
and you're driving much too slow 
first you come find me 
then you go quiet 
how long can you hold your breath 
before you wait too long 

you're so lucky 
we all agree 
you hold your heart out 
for everyone to see 
you've got money but you'd better not stay 
no don't you wait too long 

you've got problems 
that you can't confess 
you've got an eye dear inside your dress 
you've got a highway 
behind your smile 
don't you wait too long 

now it's midnight 
in the hall of fame 
you try to telephone but you can't explain 
you go upstairs 
and you never come down 
how long can you hold your breath 
before you wait too long
