Looking at your watch, a third time waiting in the station [A] for the bus.
[E] Going to places far, so far away, and if that's [A] not enough.
[B] Going [A] where nobody [C#m] sees a load, and talking to anybody [A] they don't know.
[E] You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filled with nowhere [A] left to go.
[E] Walk home to a nifty house, sit around all by [A] yourself.
[B] I know it might sound [G#m] strange, but I [C#m] believe you'll be coming [G] back before [A] too long.
