You can go out, dancing
And I’ll write about you, dancing without you
And I’ll shed a tear between my legs.
When you were here, I missed you
Now that you’re away, I’m out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs.
Though we live in the same city,
You live in another state, far away from me and all of my unfaded charms
But when the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle,
And everybody’s packing up their station wagons
There’s a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening
Again I will pray with one thing
Will I walk away from love knowing nothing, wearing my heart between my legs?
But when I know you’re naked, lying on my bed while I’m at the piano
All I can say is I can/can’t fake it (?)
When the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody’s packing up their station wagons
There’s a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
And quietly we’ll exit as it all is happening again
‘Cause there’s a river running underground,
Underneath the town towards the sea, and only I know all about it
On which from this city, we can be free
On which from this city, we can be
