"26 On The List" lyrics

"26 On The List"

Coffee shop quartet
Singin' songs about how things are wrong
Little Billy Bragg talk-talk-talkin' the night away
Airborne hustler singin' sad, sad songs
Then there's me in the corner
Face on hands, brain on wax

It's time to go
Well, there's nothing for me here
It's time to go
Walk down to the midnight's glow

Mexican Elvis impersonator, oversized calculator
Put it away, you yuppie pup
Number twenty-six on the list
But I can't seem to get the gist
Of just why I came in the first place, now

I've been waitin' so long
Waitin' to play my stupid song
Mama says it makes you a better man
But the better man's been there along

Just don't know what to do with myself
I (just) don't know what to do with myself
I (just) don't know what to do with myself
I (just) don't know what to do

It's time to go
Well, there's nothing for me here
It's time to go
Walk down to the midnight's glow

It's time to go
Well, there's nothing for me here
It's time to go
Walk down to the midnight's glow

(One more time now)

It's time to go
Well, there's nothing for me here
It's time to go
Walk down to the midnight's glow
