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.
