lyrics

touch down on the Tarmac
swing your bag over your back
flag a taxi down, drive right downtown
then give her a tip and tip your cap

pay for a room on main street
kick off your shoes, put up your feet
it's been a long day of travellin', and nobody knows where all you've been
so tonight you'll just watch TV

... watch TV

wake up to the birds and the freeway
open up the curtains to the sun's rays
eggs and bacon and toast with jam, coffee with cream and you're a happy clam
time to start another day

hit the strip and spend a ton
buy some souvenirs for your loved ones
a t-shirt and a packet of cards, a bottle of wine and a box of cigars
and some souvenirs for your loved ones

... have a drink

the little light turns green, so in you go
chinese and late night talk shows
you better get to sleep, you got an early flight, one more day and you'll be home by twilight
that is, unless it snows

you crane your neck, you see the red
a crowd's gathering, shaking their heads
but no harm done, what's a little delay, it's a big city, go out and play
or maybe just go back to bed

... go to sleep
