There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're goin', leave the sinkin' ship behind. Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend. Ooh! Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the gettin's good, Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood. Oooh! You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day, Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say. Yeah! Oooh! Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree, There's a place up ahead and I'm goin', come along, come along with me. Yeah! Do do doo do... |

So many things that mean a lot, So many things that I never got, You can look boy, but you can't touch, What I don't have seems to mean so much A beat up Chevy or Mercedes Benz Should make no difference in the end But I get mad, baby real upset 'Cos what I want I can never get They're just like cattle walking down the street Some get so fat while others never eat I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet My mind is blank I take another drink I'm not destroyed but I'm right on the brink I sit and count them shot by shot The little things that I never got Those uptown ladies on 5th Avenue It's like I hate them but I want them too I may be shut out but I ain't finished yet I don't get it, I don't get it at all I don't get it, I don't get it at all Why I can't get it, Why it's a thing I'll never get Why I can't get it, Why it's a thing I'll never get A yacht and a Rolls and a private jet, A dirty blonde in a red Corvette Wife and kids and a house and a pet, Those are the things that I can't get |

Beneath the streets, in the cars, on the trains, or in the underground I`ll be waiting You can spare a dime or youre gonna be mine and We`re going dancing tonight In the tunnels underground the subway rats run all around, and hungry, running all around and hungry So come and hide, step inside we`re going on a midnight ride On the subway underground it gets a little rough, this ain`t No tunnel of love Hurricanes running through my veins I know that You`re lost and alone And I feel no pain In my sea of drains in my my my underwater world Welcome to the ocean Welcome to the sea Welcome to the jungle Deep inside of me Sink or swin, you dive right in and you Know this ain`t no place to mess around in In my swamp underground the quicksand slowly Sucks you down Down here I call teh shots, like it or not, What you got I`m getting You have to come down to my slum Well Welcome Chum, now sit down and listen Welcome to the ocean Welcome to the sea Welcome to the jungle Deep inside of me I lay you wide open For all teh world to see |

The nights are wearing me down And it`s hard getting through the day `Cos I need you right now And right now you`re so faraway I guess I should have known That I`d end up this way But I swear I`ll come home And then nothing will drag me away Don`t you ever leave me baby Don`t you ever leave me now Don`t you ever leave me baby If you leave me you will kill me now Now that some much time has passed I know that this love of ours will last forever Cos we feel it, take it, hold it and believe it You need me like I need you I know you do, I'm sure you do The lights are slowly going down On Lexington Avenue And me, I`m all alone feeling the tears falling down from my eyes A subway train is passing by Driving into the Darkness I jump inside `cos I ain`t got nowhere to sleep tonight Don`t you ever leave me baby Don`t you ever leave me now Don`t you ever leave me baby If you leave me you will kill me now I was forcing myself just walk through the day When all I really wanted to do was curl up in a corner and cry Nothing had any meaning And I just thought let's give it another day and see if anything happens Then you came along like my own ray of sunshine Made me feel warm, safe and alive again |

Took too much of this Had too much of that But with you I never got enough I thought there`d never be a love in my life And that`s sad `cos when I think what I`ve could`ve had It makes me feel so bad I smoked a lot of sky I drank a lot of rain Anything to ease my paid But now you`re touch is all it would take And that`s a shame `cos I can never come home again And you`re million miles away I`ll never get a chance to hold you So my message is the wind I pray that it gets through to you Loving you was so easy And leaving you was so very hard And now I`m living in this ocean of blue In the corner of a prison yard i should have listened to you And you`re million miles away I`ll never get a chance to hold you So my message is the wind I pray that it gets through to you Please don`t be thinking of me Please just forget about me |

All these broken dreams Have made me see That I`m strung out, somebody rescue me Well, do I have to tell you that I love you Do I have to tell you that I care Do I have to tell you that I need you to be there `Cos in the middle of the night When I`m much too weak to fight You know you`re such a welcome sight In the middle of the night Yeah On the boulevard of broken dreams Yeah I talk so bad and I act so mean On the boulevard of broken dreams I gotta get back on my feet And was it only yesterday You came my way Or was it just a while ago And do I have to tell you you`re my lover Do I have to tell you I`m your slave And so we have to dance until you`re dancing On my grave And my lips are turning white And my jaw is getting tight And the sun is burning bright In the middle of the night Yeah On the boulevard of broken dreams She`ll eat your heart and she`ll eat your face On the boulevard of broken dreams And I gotta get back on my feet Do I have to tell you that I need you Do I have to show you that I care Do I have to lie and steal to have you Do I have to sell myself somewhere Then we can dance all night together You`ll be my queen I`ll be your slave And we can stay awake forever Until we`re dancing on my grave On the boulevard of broken dreams... Boulevard of broken dreams... |

London is grey but it`s great in it`s way If you`re just barreling through You find some first class boiler and she Boils your cares away Well life is a gas, but the laughs never last So you add a handful of blues Now that`s a first class ticket if you wanna get away `Cos if you hang around the greys and brown They`ll just bring you down Well it`s a useless rap you gotta cut the crap go directly to the things that matter to you Have to cut corners of fade away have to cut corners or fade away... Going through channels in ties and grey flannels Just slows everything down And when I want a thing, I want it right away Going straight for a heart, tears your wardrobe Apart, butit weara the other guy down I may look a mess but I`m dressed to get my way `Cos if you hang around the greys and brown They`ll just bring you down Well it`s a useless rap you gotta cut the crap go directly to the things that matter to you Have to cut corners of fade away have to cut corners or fade away... |
