Lyrics:

5 o'clock streetcar stop, and all the suits got off- briefcases flying
shiny shoes click pavement- wonder where the day went
they're all off running, to real lives honest eyes, bedroom slippers, TV,
I am just sitting here.

And they called out, cried out, "my love is gone!"
But the lovers ignored them,
)they were talking on their cell phones, and putting on makeup, microwaving TV dinners)

Into cars and off they go with murder on the radio- front window open
heartache at at the sunset, heartbreak at the day dead
here's to hoping- for real lives honest eyes, bedroom slippers, TV
I am still sitting here.

City, what have you done to me?
What have you made of me? -with all of your lies
City, what did you take from me, with your concrete and lack of trees
Where is real life?

6 o'clock break of dawn, streetcar stop, suits get on
sleepydust on their eyelids lovenotes in their pockets
and we're all just sitting here

They called out, cried out, "my love is gone"
but the lovers ignored them;
We're all just sitting here.
