Skinny young man with born again eyes and a jesus tattoo on his arm leans on the wall while the trafic goes by the gas mart at Fairveiw and Farm A rap song pounds from an 83 caddy While he waits on a pay phone to ring been standing around since a quater past nine still hasn't heard thing Chorus: 24 hours a day 24 hours a day sign says were open the man says you pay 24 hours a day backed up on Farm carhorns are screaming cause some guys suburban is stalled he guesses her daddy must be back home otherwise she'd have called he thinks to himself i guess i can't blame him it wasn't so smart what we did a uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee some woman yells at her kid Repeat Chorus (harmonica solo) carload of drunks pulls up in a hurry for a six pack before it's too late he starts to dial to leave one moe message stops and decides just to wait could have been diffrent and maybe it coudn't with some things it's too late to learn fumes from the gasoline hang in the air world just continues to turn Repeat Chorus The skinny young man with born again eyes and a jesus tattoo on his arm leans on the wall while the traffic goes by a gas mart at farveiw and farm hmmmmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmm
