Boystown lyrics

There's a loon calling on the lake tonight

TV's goin', it's black and white

And I was the only one who ever knew you

Cold coffee on a hot plate

Nothin' to do but sit and wait

I lied when I said I didn't care about you



Where were you when the lights went out

You'll have plenty to talk about

In Boystown tonight

Where will you be when the big one comes

And all your money can't buy you none

In Boystown tonight

Goin' to boystown



I changed my mind, changed it back again

Stuck around through thick and thin

I swore I would never see your face again, baby

Every time's your last time

Every line your last line

One more, and you're off to the races again



Where were you when the lights went out

You'll have plenty to talk about

In Boystown tonight

Where will you be when the big one comes

And all your money can't buy you none

In Boystown tonight

Goin' to boystown



Sha-la-la-la-la-la...



I'm standing at a crossroads

I don't know which way to go

Should I head on down the road

And find a life

Waiting for the phone to ring

Some cop who's seen 'bout everything says

Mister come on down and get your wife

She's out like a light



And I know all about nights like this

I know all about chances missed

I know you even better than you do

Your taxi's here and your bag's all packed

You know they'll always take you back

You know there's always a place there for you

Over in Boystown

Over in Boystown

Goin' to Boystown



Sha-la-la-la-la-la...
