i've got the key to the city locked inside my heart
and like the selfish fool i am, i had to fight real hard
i'm filled with kerosene and everything's a match
but i saw you burning for me, i felt it on my skin
i'd never resonate in the hearts of most young men
but i did my best when i could, i tried to find a friend
follow the road that ive walked down, i promise that it's safe
you may feel a little tired towards the end but i know you'll be okay
i never meant any ill but i myself got sick

i'm gonna go for a walk down the street you can come if you want to
im gonna write out a letter you can watch me if you want to
im gonna jump into france with guns and tobacco
im gonna shoot at the germans, they can shoot me if they want to, too
when i get home i'll be dancing, you can join me if you want to
leave all our phones off the hooks. im not taking calls cause i dont feel like it
tell all the girls that im leaving. i'll miss them but they're not for me
tell all this world that i'm grieving. i miss when it was there for me
someday soon you'll get a letter with a stamp marked from germany
i'll be all over the world cause god knows i've got to be
is it a shame that im daniel? and is there time to right myself?
is it so bad to feel happy when you know you'll be all alone?
i'd like a friend who is cautious, but likes to flirt with death's embrace
i know a man who is handsome and i dream about his face

if i was feeling lonesome would you ask me to the dance?
if i was feeling cruel would you settle me down?
if i wanted to leave would you loom it over my head?
see, the birds all fly in threes. it's just something i've picked up on
you look best against the sky when the sun goes down
that's no way to say goodbye. won't you come around
if it turned out i'd need a friend would you care for me?
when i lose, my mind won't you look for it?

i went down to the water
and i walked along the shore
i peered into the water there
now there's a boy i've seen before
i've played the fool of reason
many times before
my heart moves with the seasons
i'm sure you've seen me crawling for more
in terms of saving others
give me all your sick and poor
give me all your sleepless heroes
i'd never ask for more. god help me
there's a man with golden eyelids
who is staring at the wall
in some abandoned railroad house
he'd thought about it all and settled
i'm tired of saying sorry
for things i've never done
give some odd kind of chance to me
and take this one alone, god help you
in my meetings with the sphinxes
they speak of vicious crimes
"don't bet a cent upon this world,
it isn't worth a dime or dollar"
i'd like to speak with jimmy
and ask him how he felt
before the lanes and metal merged
i wish i held your hand at the crossing
and am i strictly dreaming
when i feel as new as rain?
and am i really treating you with love in place of pain and sorrow?
imagine screaming cattle
it's easy if you try
imagine all the people
all working just to die in comfort
