My Rags, My Riches - Take Me To The Pilot

There’s a secret little spot downtown

That I don’t think anyone knows about

Deep within the city lights

Inexplicably you can see into the night

Tucked away, sheltered and hidden

Its scruffy charm has got me smitten

And I’ll take another minute

Just lay here, just lay here

‘Cause I can’t help it without a little bit of something real

To keep me alive you’ll need to take your hands right off of the steering wheel

And how I wish that I could stay this way, never change

I’ll take it all in stride, turn out the lights and say goodnight

Heavy loads make their way to the stage

Back turned so you can’t see my face

As the heat from a thousand eyes

Burns through me faster than the brightest spotlight

The mics crackle, the keys take flight

Buzzing nerves make this room feel so alive

And I’ll savour that first chord

Just stay here, stay here

‘Cause I can’t help it without a little bit of something real

To keep me alive you’ll need to take your hands right off of the steering wheel

And how I wish that I could stay this way, never change

I’ll take it all in stride, turn out the lights and say goodnight

To one more memory

Is that all you’ve got for me?
