Say it's alright Joe   I need another drink   To blow on the glass   So I know I'm alive      Play me a song Joe   To fill the hours till morning   Then never again will I bother you   Ooh, build myself a tower      No way in, no way out   Then my friends can visit me   Once in a while      Say it's alright Joe   I need some reassurance   You never know what   You might find in the night      Ooh, I'm just a busy bee   Still alive in my hive   I'm looking for some other world   To dream out my dreams      There were kings who were laughing in the rain   And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade   And the colors were changing, the sky was in ruins   The lights were all shining on me and on you   Oh, shine on      Say it's alright Joe   The night will soon be over   And nothing and no one   Will ever know      Open my eyes Joe   I'd like to see the daylight   The clock on the wall says   It's time to leave      Never seen the same face twice   Never walked the same way   The little love that I have known   I keep to myself      If there's a fire it's asleep in my bed   I must leave it to burn till it burns itself out   Catch as you can I'm not staying here long   I'll be coming back early or never at all   Shine on
