Something Big

It didn't feel like sunday

It didn't feel like june

When he met his silent partner

In that lonely corner room

That overlooked the marquee

Of the plaza all-adult

And he was not lookin' for romance

Just someone he could trust



And it wasn't no way to carry on

It wasn't no way to live

But he could up with it for a little while

He was worki n' on something big



Speedball rang the night desk

Said "send me up a drink"

The night clerk said "it's sunday man...

Wait a minute, let me think

There' a little place outside of town

Might still have some wine&q uot;

Speedball said "forget it man

Can i have an outside line?"



And it wasn't no way to carry on

It wasn't no way to live

But he could up with it for a little while

He was workin' on something big



It was mon day when the day maids

Found the still made bed

All except the pillows

That lay stacked up

At the head

And one said "i know

I've seen his face

I wonder who he is"

The other said "probably

Just another clown

Working on something big"



And it wasn't no way to carry on

It wasn't no way to live

But he could up with it for a little while

He was workin' on something big
