Paul Simon - Rewrite lyrics
[Paul Simon - Rewrite lyrics]
I've been working on a rewrite, that's right
Gonna change the ending
Going to throw away my title and
Toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for working on
The rewrite, that's right
I'm going to turn it into cash
I been working at the car wash
I consider it my day job
'Cause it's really not a pay job
But that's where I am
Everybody says "The old guy working
At the car wash
Hasn't got a brain cell left since Vietnam"
But I say "help me, help
Me, help me, help me, thank you"
I'd no idea that you were there
When I said "help me, help me
Help me, help me, whoa, thank you
For listening to my prayer"
I've been working on a rewrite, that's right
Gonna change the ending
Going to throw away my title and
Toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for working on
The rewrite, that's right
I'm going to turn it into cash
I'll eliminate the pages where the
Father has a breakdown
And he has to leave the family
But he really meant no harm
I'm gonna substitute a car chase and
A race across the rooftops
Where the father saves the children and
He holds them in his arms
And I say "help me, help
Me, help me, help me, thank you"
I'd no idea that you were there
When I said "help me, help me
Help me, help me, whoa, thank you
For listening to my prayer"
Gonna change the ending
Going to throw away my title and
Toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for working on
The rewrite, that's right
I'm going to turn it into cash
I been working at the car wash
I consider it my day job
'Cause it's really not a pay job
But that's where I am
Everybody says "The old guy working
At the car wash
Hasn't got a brain cell left since Vietnam"
But I say "help me, help
Me, help me, help me, thank you"
I'd no idea that you were there
When I said "help me, help me
Help me, help me, whoa, thank you
For listening to my prayer"
I've been working on a rewrite, that's right
Gonna change the ending
Going to throw away my title and
Toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for working on
The rewrite, that's right
I'm going to turn it into cash
I'll eliminate the pages where the
Father has a breakdown
And he has to leave the family
But he really meant no harm
I'm gonna substitute a car chase and
A race across the rooftops
Where the father saves the children and
He holds them in his arms
And I say "help me, help
Me, help me, help me, thank you"
I'd no idea that you were there
When I said "help me, help me
Help me, help me, whoa, thank you
For listening to my prayer"
