“And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone.”

Piano Man.
Song lyrics, Piano Man (1973)

“You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico.
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive.”

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take

Song lyrics, Turnstiles (1976)

“You have to learn to pace yourself.
Pressure.
You're just like everybody else.
Pressure.
You've only had to run so far,
So good.
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face.
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure.”

Pressure.
Song lyrics, The Nylon Curtain (1982)

“You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good;
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood.
It's alright, it's alright;
Sometimes that's what it takes.
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.”

Some people just accept the world as it is.

The Longest Time.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)

“Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world.
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why.
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl.
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am.”

Uptown Girl.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)

“I've seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines.
Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and their valentines.
Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise.
Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice.
Now we're gonna get the big business.
Now we're gonna get the real thing.
Everybody's all excited about it.”

No Man's Land.
Song lyrics, River of Dreams (1993)

“I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too
I had my pointless point of view
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.”

“Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there.
Tell her about it.
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe.”

Tell Her About It.
Song lyrics, An Innocent Man (1983)

“You can get just so much
From a good thing.
You can linger too long
In your dreams.
Say goodbye to the
Oldies but goodies.
You know the good ole days weren't always good,
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.”
