Wages Day

There he stood and there we left, Outside the flashin' neon sign

With the smell of cheap cigars and the hope of sweet perfume

And his heart, it was reelin' with the thrill of it all

All to do, and only hours, he said all this is all yours

And you can have it all, you can take it all, all away

From where we left off, livin' it all your way

If you stand in my shoes, if you do what I do

On a wages day

On a wages day

And the cap from Disneyland that his cousin, she brought back

Stays open in his hand from one week to another

And this long, narrow land is full of possibility

All to do, and only hours, he said all this is all yours

And you can have it all, you can take it all, all away

From where we left off, livin' it all your way

If you stand in my shoes, if you do what I do

On a wages day

And you can have it all, you can take it all, all away

From where we left off, livin' it all your way

If you stand in my shoes, if you do what I do

On a wages day

On a wages day

On a wages day

On a wages day (On a wages, wages, wages day)

On a wages day

Say, say, say, say, on a wages day

If you'll do what I do

On a wages day
