I'm standing on a corner
On the other side of town
Send you a message on the mobile
Just to see when you'll be down
Don't get an answer when I thought I would
I suppose you must be running late
You must be down in the tunnels somewhere
I get a feeling that I'll have to wait
See I've been on the bread and the water
And you've been on the wine
And you're never on time
So I walk round to the next block
I know the guy who owns the café bar
You have been charged and you're in the dock
A little courtesy goes so far
I'm talking trash with these strangers
Just to pass the time of day
Been drifting round on planet earth
And they're just passing through this way
Catch some rays
So I don my shades
It's the middle of the afternoon
Depsite it all
I just wish that you'd call
And I'm hoping that you get here soon
See I've been on the bread and the water
And you've been on the wine
And you're never on time
Been thinking about it lately
Why you're always late for me
I get excuses but it's just no use
It's all a question of priorities
But maybe that's the difference
In this thing between you and I
It's that you never crossed the line
No, you never crossed the line
No, you never crossed the line
See I've been on the bread and the water
While you've been on the wine
And I've been on the bread and the water
While you've been on the wine
And I've been on the bread and the water
While you've been on the wine
And you're never on time
Never on time [to fade]
