She took it away so I would stay faithful
I give and I give she only takes
busing tables doesn't pay well
I really wish they'd let me wait

down gyroscope
out liner notes
round wide and full
peek through the telescope

I come back I hate being ignored
I'd rather be someone to use
south street made me dizzy,
allure of youth and style hit me
grabbed a hold so tight I choked
forced me drinks and broke her hold
she walks away I see her passing
waving her hands like wands casting magic
fasten your straps lets go for a walk
the town is filled with streets and I can only seem to walk one

She took it away so I would stay faithful
I give and I give she only takes
all day long I'd hold her tight,
cause it don't pay to work overnights.

I make my money now the wrong way
I do what I can to get by
faking my death so they won't think of me,
a few years passed and they don't ask why.
