Mr. 5 O'Clock Songtext
von Liset Alea

Hello Mr. 5 O′clock
What pleasure brings you here?
I know you will love me
When my tongue is in your ear
But there's something I should let you know
I think it′s good to hear

Can't you see
The closer you get
The further you are?
Can't you see
The closer you get
You′re still so far?

In the dim light catch a glimpse
Of what′s written on my face
You will never know me
Though you buy the saving grace
So get that bow tie straightened out
And listen to me dear


Can't you see
The closer you get
The further you are?
Can′t you see
The closer you get
You're still so far?

Oh, can′t you see
That the closer you get
The further you are?
Can't you see
The closer you get
You′re still so far?

You're still so far

You only have one life
You work so hard to deserve her
With a lady's smile
She means your hour′s over
Another man brushes your shoulder
In the narrow corridor


She sells an hour
You get what you pay for
And when the light comes on
You′d better hit the door
Someday good night will mean good morning
If the sun reveals her face
It was a beautiful place

Can't you see
The closer you get
The further you are?
Oh, can′t you see
The closer you get
You're still so far?
You′re still so far
Can't you see
The closer you get
The further you are?

Oh, can′t you see
The closer you get
You're still so far?
You're still so far

(The closer you get
The further you are)
Oh, Mr. 5 O′clock
(The closer you get
You′re still so far)
You're still so far
