Bright lights all around me
Burning holes in my head
Sometimes it seems like this city
Is mad as birds

I called my baby this morning
Asking to come home
But she said they’ll be hell to pay
If I set one foot inside her door

So I went out this evening
Thought I’ll get a breath of fresh air
Thought that’ll be the best way
To put some space between me and her

But the people that lined the streets
Were wrapped in each other’s arms
And when I looked over the roofs
The stars
