One day they will see it's long gone. Now that San Francisco's gone I guess I'll just pack it in Wanna wash away my sins In the presence of my friends You and I, we head back east To find a town where we can live Even in the half light We can see that

Tell 'em that is my birthday When I party like that Blow your dreams, blow your dreams, blow your dreams away with me Every night's my birthday They don't know, so it's okay Jazz it up, jazz it up Happy as can be, falling into you, falling into me How do

You know I love you You're such a wonderful thing I hope I made you feel less alone Precious thing You make me dizzy whispering in my ear They can go away

They're the children on parade And nobody knows All the girls and boys have gone away They never really had much to say They took off all their clothes and their shoes Politely asked to be excused They have a secret they can share All the broken toys lie

'Cause you really hurt me I got to go Once upon a time on the same side But no, you let me go Oh you really hurt me Once upon a time somebody ran Somebody ran away saying, "Fast as they can" Once upon a time we fell apart You're holding in your hands

Baby it's cold outside I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside) I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside) This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice) My mother will start to worry

(I really can't stay) Betty, it's cold outside Ah, but it's cold outside (I've got to go away) Betty, it's cold out there (This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in (So very nice) I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

Touching the untouchables but they don't know Respect the disrespectable's, but in the end you know You turn away, what can I say? Hello to you, my sweet young friends Have you got money perhaps you could lend? I wash my leather face in the afternoon sun

Run, run, run But take the best of what I’ve got And then you know no matter what Before you walk away you know you can Run, run, run, Back to my arms, back to my arms Back to my arms, they will hold you down (oh oh oh) They will hold you down (oh oh oh)

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact You gotta make it alright And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man I don't know where to begin,
