Paul Simon - Rewrite - live in new york / 2011 lyrics

I've been working on my rewrite That's right I'm gonna change the ending Gonna throw away my title And toss it in the trash Every minute after midnight All the time I'm spending It's just for working on my rewrite Gonna turn it into cash I've been working at the car wash I consider it my day job 'Cause it's really not a pay job But that's where I am Everybody says the old guy Working at the car wash Hasn't got a brain cell left Since Vietnam But I say help me, help me, help me, help me Thank you! I'd no idea That you were there When I said help me, help me, help me, help me Whoa! Thank you For listening to my prayer I'm working on my rewrite That's right I'm gonna change the ending Gonna throw away my title And toss it in the trash Every minute after midnight All the time I'm spending Is just for working on my rewrite, that's right Gonna turn it into cash I'll eliminate the pages Where the father has a breakdown And he has to leave the family But he really meant no harm I'm gonna substitute a car chase And a race across the rooftops When the father saves the children And he holds them in his arms And I say help me, help me, help me, help me Thank you! I'd no idea That you were there When I said help me, help me, help me, help me Whoa! Thank you For listening to my prayer
