How can you live in such a state?
Your mind is empty and you're full of hate
The things you say and the things you do
Mark you down as a helpless fool
I know, I know, I know, I know
It's gonna be all right through the night [bad word]  and you're full of shame
Oh baby you play the crying game

Gonna be a long time baby
Before we get it sorted out, alright
I'll drag you out to Utopia, baby
We'll end up heading south
I need, I need, I need to know
If you're gonna do me right
If you do the things I ask of you
I'll tell the world tonight

You do me right, you do me wrong
Tell me, where do I belong?
You do me up, you do me down
I accept it all without a frown

You live like a woman in a fantasy
I admire you from my dream
You dream of life and you dream my dream
High enough but I'm back again
I love, I love, I love the funny ways
Oh you throw me in a daze
If you ever left me woman
I'd destroy myself, sure as [bad word] 
We're gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistle stops, oh yes we are
We'll pull down the blinds while the carriage grinds
And the engine burns so hot
Well there's a city gent in crime
What the [bad word] s he going on
So I'll burn his Times to ash
Well there's a life to live and there's love to give
Ready, steady, smash

You just got to be out of your head
When you say you're good lookin' from bottom to top
Well I'll be waiting and give you the rest
When you pass in the street you want to stop mop
Well there's a man to fail
Looks like something's going on
And it's sure to end in pain
Just like me he fell in love
Ah now he feels the pain

We're gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistle stops, oh yes we are
We'll pull down the blinds while the carriage grinds
And the engine burns so hot
Well there's a city gent in crime
What the [bad word] s he going on
So I'll burn his Times to ash
Well there's a life to live and there's love to give
Ready, steady, smash
