Does anybody hold her tight, Or does she spend her days and nights at home, All a - lone? verse 4 And over in the passing zone, All wrapped up in - side their own day - dreams, They're waiting for the light to turn ...green, Do they wonder who I am? Do they know I'm not some damn ma - chine? Waiting for the light to turn ...green!

What about the child I want some - day? Where are they? What about my heart's desire? What about these four bald tyres I'm on? How long?
