We're gonna go downtown I hear this great new place has open up And when we get there I don't know It's taking ages, don't you know How long, how long will this go on? How long, how long The time drags on How long ... I find I can't go on much longer now But the place in question is hard to find Not a cab-ride to the door And you wonder in your doubtful mind Is it really worth all that, and more? We seem to be a little lost of something I'm not really sure About the choice we're making The toll it's taking How long, how long will this go on? How long, how long The time drags on How long ... I find I can't go on much longer now But the place in question is hard to find Like an illness without cure And our minds are growing wearier And our hearts are less than pur Less than pur
