Penthouse And Pavement Lyrics - Five Classic Albums - Heaven 17

Sweat my youth away 

With the rules we have to play 

Speeding through your magazine 

Pistol, pavement, no TV 

Talk and talk, no time 

Night time burnt inside 

Here comes the daylight 

Here comes my job 

Uptown in the penthouse 

Or downtown with the mob 

Here comes the night time 

Here comes my role 

Goodbye to the pavement 

Hello to my soul 

Now, here comes my job 

Credit, bleeding with the mob 

Dreams become ideals 

No one knows the way I feel 

Love to love, daytime, right time 

All my life 

Here comes the daylight 

Here comes my job 

Uptown in the penthouse 

Or downtown with the mob 

Here comes the night time 

Here comes my role 

Goodbye to the pavement 

Hello to my soul 

Feel safe in the crowd 

An no one admits they're crying aloud 

My career fits like a glove 

Knowing no orders can come from above 

Work and work, full time, part time 

Anytime at all 

As you face the wall 

God make it this time or never at all 

Before your chance has gone 

Captain this lead role and you'll be the one 

Shine and shine, this time, my time 

Make me free at last
