But they never ever did return the call.


People on every side of me

Taking my business so seriously
:To go back
In every way, I know they've got me bested
:'Cause I had used up the supplies in my traveling pack
Spending my time in the usual way
:And I didn't see any point in hanging on
While they mark down the exact time of day

At the gate
::They say my mental growth has been arrested.
By a lady who said it was much too late
To ever read the writing on the lawn.
 
People on every side of me
Taking my business so seriously
And all the time I keep on being re-tested
Watching the world as it floats away
While they've noted down the exact time of day
They say my mental growth has been arrested.
