Stepping Out-Joe Jackson

Had to get out this weekend
Just HAD to
Get over myself...I guess

Friday night I didn't actually STEP Out
Had friends over at the house
Drank Wine
Lots of Wine
Made a mess with Chex Mix
Played Games
Laughed
About NOTHING

Stepped Out out with friends on Saturday Night
Drank Beer
Lots of Beer
Made a mess with Popcorn
Played Games
Laughed
About A lot

And everything tends to blend
Like the freeway Lights
And then
Reality hits
Again
Step Back IN
To Self
...on a quiet Sunday

"Now -
The mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes

We -
So tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive
To the other side


We -
Are young but getting old before our time
We’ll leave the t.v. and the radio behind
Don’t you wonder what we’ll find
Steppin out tonight

You -
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We’ll be there in just a while
If you follow me"
-Joe Jackson
