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
