We're going to go downtown 
I hear this great new place has opened up 
And when we get there
I don't know It's taken ages
Don't you know

How long how long 
Will this go on 
How long how long 
Time drags on
How long I find I
can't go on much longer now 

But the place in question's hard to find
Not a cab ride to the door 
As you wonder in your doubtful mind 
Is it really worth all that and more

We seem to be a little lost or something 
I'm not really sure about the choice we're making 
The toil it's taking on 

How long how long 
Will this go on 
How long how long 
The time drags on 
How long
I find I can't go on much longer now

But the place in question's hard to find
Like an illness with no cure
And our heads are getting wearier 
And our hearts are less than pure
Less than pure 

How long I find 
I can't go on much longer now

And the place in question's hard to find 
Not a cab ride to the door
And our heads are getting wearier 
And our hearts are less than pure
