Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that should pull me outAnother day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up hereJingle jangle that's the sound of coins
Spent on useless toys made for useless boys
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
There's a piece of land that I got my eye onAnother day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up hereFriday night I'll raise my glass and say
"Tomorrow things will change! I can't afford to wait."
But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows
How this story goes and the ending's the same as the startAnother day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up hereAnother day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up hereWatch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that I'm working on
