Grapefruit moon. One star shining. Shining down on me. I heard that tune and now I'm pining. Honey, can't you see. Every time I hear that melody. Something breaks inside.
Well I'm goin' out west. Where the wind blows tall. 'Cause Tony Franciosa. Used to date my ma. They got some money out there. They're giving it away. I'm gonna do what I want.
With your hair so white you could light up the night. Burning out like a shooting star. From the stage to the squeeze. From T.V. to striptease. . I loved you in the back of my car.
If I had known this was to be the last time. I would have never let you go. But there you were still talkin' of the first time. And how was I to know?.
Outside another yellow moon. Has punched a hole in the nighttime. I climb through the window and down to the street. I'm shining like a new dime. . The downtown trains are full.
I got no time for the corner boys. Down in the street making all that noise. Or the girls out on the avenue. 'Cause tonight I want to be with you. Tonight I'm gonna take that ride.
Hey, hey, why do you look at me without your face, face?. I'm gonna be the one to put you in your place. . We're gonna wash it away, we're gonna push it away.
Well I'm leaving my family. I'm leaving all my friends. My body's at home. But my heart's in the wind. And the clouds are like headlines. Upon a new front page sky.
Well, I'm leavin' my family, leavin' all my friends.. My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind. where the clouds are like headlines upon a new front page sky..
Well, I'm leavin' my family, leavin' all my friends. My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind. Where the clouds are like headlines upon a new front page sky.
Charlie, I'm pregnant. And living on 9th Street. Right above a dirty bookstore. Off Euclid Avenue. . Stopped taking dope. Quit drinking whiskey. My old man plays the trombone.
