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 hotplate
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 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
but where were you when the lights went out...
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...
