Safe at home as the sun sets Cry me a river Or sing me a song What about your life? Where nothing is sacrificed I am a new man Or no one at all You and me, we're the shortest answer To my little question I'm just hanging around If I could be that young How could I be that dumb? The tears of a class clown Oh yeah, they're drowning the city And build the shopping malls And pave the parking stalls And tie your hair back And your worst ain't over at all I know I've done my part I know these roads by heart And I could close my eyes and find my way I'd find my way (x2) And I hope you figure out That I was only joking And in my car I ride the eastern hillside Rollin' another and lightin' it up 'Cause it's the only way At least that's what I say I'm burning forever with the lights of the city Sing that song about laying back and sprawling out And give me something that I just can't live without For all the times I have tried by the water side Just to close my eyes and find my way Find my way (x3) But you'll never figure out That I was only joking
