Overtime - Buffalo Tom

Blue eyes as pale as the white of a whale

Overtime

Right off the rails, you were set up to fail

Overtime, all of the time

All the time I knew it was not true

The girls became women and boys became men

Overtime

We were all becoming them

Overtime, all of the time

All the time I knew it was not true

And the rich kept trophy wives

And the plastic surgeon knives

Everyone around her looks so crazy

That solitude and winning fortitude

Working overtime

Overtime

She got home from a full day alone

Overtime

But the kids left home as soon as they were grown

Overtime, it’s lonely and sad

All the time I knew it was not true

Overtime, it’s the loneliest time

Overtime
