Lyrics:

Say it's alright Joe,

I need another drink

To blow on the glass so I know I'm alive



Play me a song Joe

To fill the hours till morning

Then never again will I bother you

Ooh, Build myself a tower

No way in no way out.

Then my friends can visit me

Once in a while.



Say it's alright Joe,

I need some reassurance

You never know what you might find in the night.

Ooh I'm just a busy bee, still alive in my hive,

I'm looking for some other world

To dream out my dreams.



There were Kings who were laughing in the rain

And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade

All the colours were changing, The sky was in ruins

The lights are all shining on me and on you

Oh, Shine on........



Say it's alright Joe

The night will soon be over

And nothing and no one will ever know.

Open my eyes Joe

I'd like to see the daylight

The clock on the wall says it's time to leave.

Never seen the same face twice

Never walked the same way

The little love that I have known

I keep to myself.



If there's a fire it's asleep in my bed

I must leave it to burn till it burns itself out

Catch as you can I'm not staying here long

I'll be coming back early or never at all

Shine on........
