Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home Lyrics

So you think you're a romeo
Playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
Furniture oh, its peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, its so unbelievable
Unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out

Does it feel that you lifes become a catastrophe
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could
Have been oh, what might have been
If you'd had more time

So, when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
