Does your mother tell you things Long, long when i'm gone Who you talking to Is she telling you i'm the one It's a grave mistake And i'm wide awake Drive-in's rained out Weatherman wet-fingers the sky He pokes it out, he pulls it in He don't know why It's the same mistake It's been a long time running It's been a long time coming It's well worth the wait We don't go anywhere Just on trips We haven't seen a thing We still don't know where it is It's a safe mistake It's been a long time running It's been a long time coming Well, well it's all the same mistake Dead to rights and wide awake I'll drop a caribou I'll tell on you, i'll tell on you I'll tell on you You've got a boatload of nerve But i would say you've been told You work me against my friends and you'll get- You'll get left out in the cold It's the same mistake It's been a long time running It's been a long time coming It's been a long long long time running It's well worth the wait.
