Standard (EADGBE)

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 unfaded 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
