In the dark part of this city, past the downtown metropolitannThe drunks are out in numbers, and I'm reminiscing on past friendsnThe night, it has its walkers, an awkward glance the other waynThis hopelessness, as it were, is overbearing so I praynnI just want tonnGet myself out of here (a house out in the country)nTo love and to be loved (so girl won't you please love me)nI'm out here in the cold (oh Father won't you save me)nIt's your world, it's not mine (You go ahead and break me)nnThere's a rumor out in this town and I swear to God it's all a lienI'm out searching for truth now, dead men do it, why can't InWell darling are you tired, I promise you I can relatenThis whole wide world's on fire and most everyone wants to escapennI just want tonnGet myself out of here (a house out in the country)nTo love and to be loved (so girl won't you please love me)nI'm out here in the cold (oh Father won't you save me)nIt's your world, it's not mine (You go ahead and break me)nnI wanna live my life like no other live's been livednI wanna love with a love that all the greatest lovers lackednI wanna sing with such pride, all despite my terrible pitchnTo a song that whispers LOUD, If you've run from home you can still come backnnI just want tonnLive wellnLove wellnDie wellnAnd all in all, just do it all for You
