Almost Lucy lyrics

Lucy worked 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 and you don`t know why,
You don`t know why.

(Instrumental Solo)

The last time that I saw her she had given up the chase,
Moved away to California, got a suntan on her face,
She said 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.
