"The Drop" lyrics

Oh, Katie died, just waiting for the right time to retire
(Retire, retire, retire)
I'll clean my sheets, oh, there's something in my teeth that I can't find
(Can't find, can't find, can't find)
Oh, honeybee, whoopsie, silly me, I lost my mind
(My mind, my mind, my mind)
Oh, honey bear, you caught me unaware, I'll let it slide
(It slide, it slide, it slide)
Oh, let it drop
Oh, let it drop

So civilised, hey, I could be your monkey in a tie
(A tie, a tie, a tie)
So wash your hands of all these childish plans and let 'em die
(And die and die and die)
Oh, busy bee, why won't you dance with me, is it the tie?
(The tie, the tie, the tie)
So kiss the ring and watch the jackals singing in a line
(A line, a line, a line)

Oh, it's a long day
A hard night
A dog barks
And we might
We might go out!
Oh, let it drop

Old, shine on and on
The endless city life
Always seemed to drag
On and on
The endless city life
Always seemed so bright
On and on and on and

Long day
Hard night
Dog barks
We might
We might go out!

Oh, let it drop
Oh, let it drop
Oh, let it drop
