Текст песни Almost Lucy

Lucy worked at a different club every day
And though she put her mind to it, her heart was never in it
She stayed around just long enough to get paid
She won't pass the time with you, she can't stay a minute

And all these changing faces never bothered her at all
They just existed like a back-drop or a pattern on the wall
Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call
She knows he'll come but no one else can hear at all

Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar
Hangs her clothes up, hopes tonight the contract won't be broken
Well, they kick you round so much when you're not a star
Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token

But all these imperfections never bothered her at all
She says, "It sharpens your perception when your back's against the wall"
There's something that enables her to rise above it all
To shrug it off just when it seems to go too far

Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost
Feel the pain comin' on inside
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost
Feel it now, you don't know why, you don't know why

The last time that I saw her, she had given up the chase
Moved away to California, got a suntan on her face
She says that, "Life was just another time, another space"
It's over now, she learned a lot, it's not a waste

Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost
Feel the pain comin' on inside
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost
Feel it now and you don't know why

Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost
Feel yourself reaching out inside
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost
Feel it now and you don't know why, you don't know why
