                  C                     Am7
We all face the same way, Still it takes all day.
                  Fmaj7                    C
I take a look to my left, Pick out the worst and
the best.
                C            Am7
She paints her lip,  greasy and thick.
               Fmaj7                 Dm     C
Another mirror stare. And she's going where?

                 C
We all face the same way
               Am
Still it takes all day
                  F
I take a look to my left
                         C
Pick out the worst and the best
                 C
She paints her lip
       Am
Greasy and thick
                 F
Another mirror stare
                   Dm C
And she's going where?

Another office affair
To kill an unborn scare?
You talk dirty to a priest?
It makes them human at least
But is she running away
To start a brand new day?
Or is she going home?
Why's she driving alone?

Chorus:
    Fmaj7  Dm   C
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7       Dm       C    Am  Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere

She got a body in the boot
Or just bags full of food?
Those are model's legs
But are they women's are they men's?
She shouts down the phone
Missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest
Keeping up with the best

Chorus

Waits tables for a crook?
Who wrote a hardback book?
To teach kids how to read?
Or sell your body on the street?
A nurse without a job?
Another uptown snob?
But have I got you all wrong?
One look and you were gone

Chorus:
Is anyone going anywhere?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Is anyone going anywhere?
Everyone's gotta be somewhere
