N.O.W. & THE-N - Left Holding The Gold
lyrics
Left Holding The Gold (1980)

City driving, you find an omen
On every corner, for any reason
Going places, Axes travelling
Feeling happy, time of season

Gears have seemed to slip away from my hand
No control, so you say its the Grand
A writer
A failure
A warning
A story

Union Station, lonely waiting
Hold the gold, no celebrating
In his head the people waving
In emotion, eyes are swaying
Take his breath, supports were broken
Bending for a subway token
Hardened lip from bitter weather
Wheres the part where things get better?
