Safe at home as the sun setsnCry me a rivernOr sing me a songnOne about your lifenWhere nothing is sacrificednI am a new mannOr no one at allnnYou and me, we're the shortest answernTo my little questionnI'm just hanging aroundnIf I could be that youngnHow could I be that dumb?nThe tears of a class clownnOh yeah, they're drowning the citynnAnd build the shopping mallsnAnd paint the parking stallsnAnd tie your hair backnIn your work-stained overallsnnI know I've done my partnI know these roads by heartnAnd I could close my eyes and find my waynI'd find my way (x2)nnAnd I hope you figure outnThat I was only jokingnnAnd in my car I ride the eastern hillsidenRollin' another and lightin' it upn'Cause it's the only waynAt least that's what I saynI'm burning forever with the lights of the citynnSing that song about laying back and sprawling outnAnd give me something that I just can't live withoutnFor all the times I have tried by the water sidenJust to close my eyes and find my waynFind my way (x3)nnBut you'll never figure outnThat I was only joking
