While you were out - the message says
You left a number and I tried to call
But they wrote it down in a perfect Spanish crawl
In a perfect Spanish crawl

Yet again I'm missing you
King size bed in a hotel someplace
I hear your name, I see your face
I see your face

Back street dolls and the side door johnnies
The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money
Back in the alley going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl

Heaven wouldn't be so high, I know
If the times gone by hadn't been so low
The best laid [bad word] apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams

Sometimes I feel like screaming, close my eyes
Won't be long, [bad word] home
Until that distant time I'll be moving on
I'll be moving on

Back street dolls and the side door johnnies
The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money
Back in the alley going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl

Heaven wouldn't be so high, I know
If the times gone by hadn't been so low
The best laid [bad word] apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams
