Does you mother tell you things?
Long, long when Im gone?
Who you talking to?
Is she telling you Im the one?
Its a grave mistake and Im wide awake.
Drive-Ins rained out
Weatherman wet-fingers the sky
He pokes it out, he pulls it in
He dont know why
Its the same mistake
Its been a long time running
Its been a long time running
Its well worth the wait
We dont go anywhere
Just on trips
We havent seen a thing
We still dont know where it is
Its a safe mistake
Its been a long time running
Its been a long time running
Well, well its all the same mistake
Dead to rights and wide awake
Ill drop a caribou, Ill tell on you
Ill tell on you, Ill tell on you
Youve got a boat-load Onerve
But I would say youve been told
You work me against my friends
And youll get left out in the cold
Its the same mistake
Its been a long time running
Its been a long time running
Its been a long, long, long time running
Its well worth the wait
