Lyrics

[Verse 1] From down the block They came marchin' to the beat Handin' out trouble to the unsuspecting lot Formin' up lines, they're all out tonight Here they go through younger eyes Another day in the life just idles by The fool's paradise smilin' on them tonight [Chorus] When the lights went down They were always ready for the action playin' down front Until life killed the boys at the leisure pace For the long ride one more time [Verse 2] One more time through A day earns an honest wage for rules Followed in tune to the artificial lights Closing up shop, they're all off tonight Here they come through weary eyes Another day in the life just idles by The fool's paradise leaning on them tonight [Outro] When the lights went down They were always ready for the action playin' down front Until time killed the boys at the leisure pace For the long ride one more time Hey, the days have slipped, it seems To the half seas over their dreams But they still keep comin' to a different place For the long ride one more time Alright
