When the curtains close
The people go home and the lights get low
I slip into my coat
And venture into the unknown
I walk a lonely road
Where people duck down when the cold winds blow
And no one seems to know
The folks that they pass as they go
Mayby I ' m the truth
Mayby I ' m a chief
Mayby I ' m that dude that you saw on the street
Standing in the waiting line mayby
I ' m just waisting time
Mayby I ' m a sinner
Mayby I ' m a saint
Mayby i ' m that dude that you saw down the way
Standing in the waiting line
Mayby I ' m just wasting time
Sometimes it ' s like the city is a beast
Looking up from down below
When I ' m walking on the streets
And the people that I meet
Never look me in the eye
They ' re too bussy with the bills and the lack of nine to fives
I just crack a little smile
Tip my hat and then I pass
Been practacing a while
I ' m a master at the craft
And I ' m guessing so are you but it doesn ' t make a diffrance
The city got us cramped up and the city makes us distant
Just another misfit robbed of his ambition
Falling of the radar drifting off into the distance
Allways on some mission allways searching for a purpose
Whatever he does
Feels like he ' s scratching on the surface
He just keeps trying
Trying to squeeze a diamond
From a lump of coal
People walking by him stare out at the scilence
Cause they don ' t know
Mayby I ' m the truth
Mayby I ' m a chief
Mayby I ' m that dude that you saw on the street
Standing in the waiting line
Mayby I ' m just waisting time
Mayby I ' m a sinner
Mayby I ' m a saint
Mayby i ' m that dude that you saw down the way
Standing in the waiting line
Mayby I ' m just wasting time
So in my solitude I sit
Just like lady day once sat
And the bit is in the place
Where my babyface was at
Looking back at all the days
Through my aviator frames
All the characters are different
But the play remain the same
Aint it strange like my brother Daniel thaught me
We ' re all born originals but end up like copies
And all of the monotony got me feeling kind of stream line
Just another drone buzz-buzzing in the bee hive
Working for a queen who ' s getting senile
Treating everyone like shit and expecting a free ride
From all us little average Joes soldiers of the status quo
Living in the shadow of a city full of bad it ' s so
He just keeps trying
Trying to squeeze a diamond
From a lump of coal
People walking by him
Stare out at the scilence
Cause they don ' t know
Mayby I ' m the truth
Mayby I ' m a chief
Mayby I ' m that dude that you saw on the street
Standing in the waiting line
Mayby I ' m just waisting time
Mayby I ' m a sinner
Mayby I ' m a saint
Mayby i ' m that dude that you saw down the way
Standing in the waiting line
Mayby I ' m just wasting time
