There's a place in the town, a statue,
She'd make me wait beneath,
But its magnif icent archways, archways,
That's where I'd go to weep.
I'm right up onto the counter;
Showgirl, perfect the slow body-roll.
And breakaway from the anger, oh, hoe,
Just got to let it all go,
More than anyone who wouldn't lay a hand.
For you can't rely on the common man.
That night up under the starlight,
Holly, you call, 'the great blistering blue,'
And so the shattering shards of glass fell,
And glistened this way and that,
But she would say I won't find my way through the plaster;
I'm an empty hourglass in the sand,
More than anyone who wouldn't speak like that.
For you can't rely on the common man.
Here in the time and the place I am,
You leave a light on all night,
Just to remind of the place I am.
