Jen is sittin' by the window
Thinkin' bout where time goes in the end
And come the mornin' there's a new day dawnin'
With big skies over her head

She wants to see the Mona Lisa
Before the colors fade
Before the yellow turns
Into another shade

It won't take too long

Everybody's got a hard life
Everybody's in a hard fight
Ain't it funny how it feels that way?
Then just one day
Everything is upside down

She's gotta make it up 'til midnight
Thinking it'd be alright in the end
Ain't it the truth that we just don't want to know
If we can still pretend?

She wants to see the lights of Vegas
Before her story's told
And ride the North Sea coastline
Into that mellow gold

It won't take too long

Everybody's got a hard life
Everybody's in a hard fight
Ain't it funny how it feels that way?
'Til just one day
Everything is upside down

Heartsick, day shift
Living off a slow drip
Smiling in the darkness
Can't you hear the clock tick?

Bombay alleyway
Whirlwind great escape
Open up the pearly gates
It's getting late

Everybody got a hard life
Everybody's in a hard fight
Ain't it funny how it feels that way?
Then just one day
Everything is upside down
