Rewrite Songtext
von Paul Simon

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, that′s right
I′m gonna turn it into cash

I've been working at the carwash
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 carwash
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
Thank you, (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
I′m 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

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
Thank you
For listening to my prayer

Working on my rewrite.
