Karaoké Terminal Rupert Holmes

I've come back this morning to where I first came alive

Here within this terminal where the buses arrive

I was a commuter on the

Eight-O-Four

Worked for a computer on the nineteenth floor and

You came down the aisle of the bus and you sat by my side

Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that nine o'clock ride

Oh my heart was screaming as you left your seat

Following your movements

I was at your feet and

Oh

Down into the terminal both of us filed

So we entered the terminal just as you smiled

Won't you leave off work for the day you asked of me then

So I phoned in sick on the way to the home of a friend

We were all alone from ten A.M. 'till three

Really thought the fire had gone out of me but

You awoke the sleep of my life from gray into red

Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead

Could have held her body my entire life but I had to get home to the kids and the wife

And so

I left for the terminal where I began

Baby no

I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man

So here I am this morning where love had asked for the dance

Here within this terminal where

I passed on a chance

Lord I'll never find her though I've truly tried

Probably she's found another bus to ride and

I am now about to begin the last of my days

I'm within what others would call a terminal phase

I myself can only say it's living dead

Riding to the office with a song in my head that goes

La dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah dah dah

And you know it grows

Dah dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah dah dah

Oh

La dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah dah dah

Oh

Dah dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah dah dah

Oh

Dah dah dah dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah dah dah
