CHECKOUT GIRLS

Stay with me now - I've a feeling you're slipping away
there's a song in the air - that nobody's singing today
there are places to go but - somehow I feel I should stay
And the checkout girls sing a song for the world
that goes round and round and the anthem of the keys in the tills makes a soothing sound - and the ears and the eyes aren't on the sky they're on the ground
Talk with me now there are words in your mind worth
saying - there's something happening over here even though the actors might only be playing
that life is the thing that can't be lost by delaying
And the checkout girls ....
Sometimes I'm ready to go sometimes I'm willing to know for someone it's happening slow didn't you know didn't you know
Live with me now - I'm ready to hear your crying
risen again like the phoenix - the ashes defying
in the silence we know there's something beyond the dying
And the checkout girls ....
and the ears and the eyes of the God in the sky
they're on the ground - he can be found
