The Fountain Songtext
von Night Shop

Back in the days of the boom times, you could show up with a suitcase in your hand
Mark the days in quarters raised, down at the Fountain
Down at the Fountain
Throw another in
Bills got paid and friends were made, we had the same dreams then
Cards were dealt on the countertop, you could sit there all day long
You always raised, as the jukebox played, you could get lunch for a song Down at the Fountain
Throw another in
When the call came for you, it felt like we all could win
Now we know we′re all on our way and to that we testify
But for tonight, let's celebrate, seeing your name in lights
Singing "Hail, Hail, The Gang′s All Here", this is sure to be our year
If the call don't come for me, I'm glad that it was you


I see them coming two by two as they′re getting off the bus
The names have changed, some things remain They have the same dreams as us
And I′m still here. Just to play them your song
Bills get paid and bones they ache, you can sit here all day long
