[01:04.94]So you think you're a Romeo
[01:07.89]playing a part in a picture-show
[01:10.54]Take the long way home
[01:13.64]Take the long way home
[01:16.58]Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
[01:20.57]Why should you care if you're feeling good
[01:23.27]Take the long way home
[01:24.97]Take the long way home
[01:30.37]But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
[01:34.10]all the greenery is comin' down, boy
[01:41.79]And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
[01:46.17]furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.
[01:56.32]When lonely days turn to lonely nights
[02:00.65]you take a trip to the city lights
[02:03.75]And take the long way home
[02:05.46]Take the long way home
[02:10.53]You never see what you want to see
[02:13.23]Forever playing to the gallery
[02:16.42]You take the long way home
[02:19.07]Take the long way home
[02:23.15]And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
[02:28.80]unforgettable, how they adore you,
[02:34.19]But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
[02:39.44]oh, calamity, is there no way out?
[03:15.96]Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
[03:19.89]Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
[03:26.79]When you look through the years and see what you could
[03:30.87]have been oh, what might have been,
[03:35.28]if you'd had more time.
[03:41.08]So, when the day comes to settle down,
[03:45.56]Who's to blame if you're not around?
[03:48.76]You took the long way home
[03:51.42]You took the long way home.......
