It's a long walk home when you feel dead on your feet   and it's hard to hold your head up on nights like these   you can feel the warehouse hours breaking you slowly   your letter said it's only a fifteen hour drive      is there room in Toronto for one more   can I lay low on the west shore of Lake Ontario      hard times going around, they're getting harder still   and you can hear the laughter from the mansion on the hill   and the time clocks marking the minutes   and it sounds like gunshots   the only plan that I got is leaving everything behind      is there room in Toronto for one more   can I lay low on the west shore of Lake Ontario   I'm not paying what I owe   I'm headed north through Ohio to Lake Ontario   O' Lake Ontario!
