The Long Distance Runners Credits Roll lyrics

If you can dish it out honey baby I thought that you could take it
I was mistaken I was naked I forgot the explanation
Well some folks say goodness comes to those who wait
But every time I get in line I'm told that I'm too late
I bought the ticket and I caught the show
But I never stuck around to watch the credits roll, the credits roll

And when I met you I was smiling, happy with my problems
You wouldn't listen, you were talking, they never asked for solving
I catch your name, my heart starts to sink
Down that city skyline pour me another drink
Well everybody's getting up to go
Before the bell's been rung, before the credits roll, the credits roll

Roll

And when I left you, you were trying, trying to walk that high-wire
And if there was a reason, now it escapes me, anyways it's not my problem
The knot is slipping and you hold your breath
I turn myself around for the first exit
Well everybody's getting up to go
Before the curtain falls, before the credits roll
The credits roll
