Lyrics The Icicle Works

The Icicle Works

Sweet Thursday

(McNabb)

Spend my time running around this town

Don't know if I'm up or down

Turning my back on another blue day

Fifteen dreamers off to see the world

One by one they all return

Its hard to know just what they're after

When sweet Thursday comes

All you know will have changed

The rains will pour down

on the heartache you've found

May you never be lonely again

At twenty-four you thought you'd have it all

Now your will won't work at all

Ten years pass you by so quickly

When all your friends have left you standing still

And you can't recall the thrill

Of being wanted by another

When sweet Thursday comes

You receive what you're owed

We're tired of chasing rainbows

That fall short of reach

We can touch them when sweet Thursday comes

You're not the same girl that I used to know

Are you dying inside from this endless waiting game?

Chorus
