Charlie No.3 Lyrics - Singles - Whitlams

He'll need some time to get over this 

But a moment is all he can spare 

His buddies out there in the city lights 

And he is trying to care 

See him offering himself to the world 

Staring down from the fifty-sixth floor 

Yeah, I'll be happy just to catch him again 

We go out, we don't always come back 

The night pressing in on his weary mind 

There's a half-eaten moon in the sky 

Nothing is calling him back to bed 

And no one is saying goodbye 

See him offering himself to the world 

Staring down from the fifty-sixth floor 

Yeah, I'll be happy just to catch him again 

We go out because we go back 

And back, and back, and back 

See him offering himself to the world 

Staring down from the fifty-sixth floor 

Yeah, and he's not happy, it's the weekend again 

We go out, we don't always come back 

See him offering himself to the world 

Staring down from the fifty-sixth floor 

Yeah, and I'll be happy just to catch him again 

We go out because we go back, we go back 

And back, and back, and back, and back 

And back, and back, and back 

See him offering himself to the world 

Staring down
