Today is a lovely day to run
Start up the car with the sun
Packing blankets and dirty sheets

A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen


Cross when the drawbridge light is green
Don't look back to that messed-up scene


Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen


And all our troubles will be gone
Blowing out over that bridge

Floating up into the sky
Making the storm clouds cry


Put out that smoke and breathe some air
Get a new name and cut your hair


Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen
