Lookin' for a penny Lookin' for a penny Arabiana would be nice Waitin' on Love's dark foot As his voice turns to ice He says, we got two kind of pistons What either of them do? You see, we don't have Arabiana On our menu Then he leans in on me and he says I'll make an exception for you Let me go into the kitchen here And see what I can do There's the evening switch and a light And all the restaurants and bars And I'm five thousand miles from my wife Who's over in London Where they clamp all the cars It's just another checkpoint It's just another day It's just another moment that's driftin' away And I thought I'd have to tell you That from where I stand Even the pyramids of Egypt Will crumble into sand someday I don't look straight People sleepin' everywhere A small child comes up to me With a look of despair While in the halls of power They're makin' all kinds of plans But not for this little flower That's holdin' out her hands But you know Jesus loves her And that makes everything alright Even though she's got no future Left abandoned in the night You may ask who am I to question All these things that I see But I know that greed's the only ship Sailin' on the ocean of humanity It's just another checkpoint It's just another day It's just another moment that's driftin' away You better do your homework About what you think will last Cause you ain't got no future And you ain't got no past guitar solo They say good overcomes evil Love will conquer hate But I'm standin' here and I'm wonderin' How long will it take It's just another checkpoint It's just another day It's just another moment that's driftin' away And I thought I had to tell you That from where I stand Even the pyramids of Egypt Will one day crumble into sand And if I ever see you You know I'm gonna say I don't want you to ever leave me Never go away It's just another checkpoint It's just another day It's just another moment that's driftin' away And I thought I had to tell you That from where I stand Even the pyramids of Egypt Will one day crumble into sand It's just another checkpoint It's just another day It's just another day
