How Long ? Lyrics - Eurythmics

It's five o'clock 

In the afternoon 

Somebody's playing 

A sixties tune on the radio 

A lazy wind tumbles 

Down the street 

It shakes the dust up 

With the summer heat 

Where the people go... 

In fancy town 

Where nothing's real 

They don't consider 

What you feel

In fancy town 

It's black & white 

They close their minds 

They say 

Wrong is right 

How long 

Will your love 

Hold on 

To stay strong enough 

In fancy town 

The attitude 

Could strip you bare 

Like frozen food 

A ship of fools 

In a crazy choir 

Is gonna take you home 

And light your fire 

In fancy town 

Where nothing's real 

They don't consider 

What you feel 

In fancy town 

It's black & white 

They close their minds 

They say 

Wrong is right 

How long 

Will your love 

Hold on 

To stay strong enough 

A deck of cards 

In perfect black 

Like cold cement 

On the pavement cracks 

Where lovers steal 

And beg for time 

And doctors sign 

On the dotted line...
