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 un-faded 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'm afraid of 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 the bed while I'm at the piano,

All I can say is I 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 we quietly will exit as it all is happening

Again.



'Cause there's a river

Running underground.

Underneath the town towards the sea,

That only I know all about.

On which from this city we can flee.

On which from this city we can flee.
