She got out of town
On a railway new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway

There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Some things you can't see
Until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all i'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar i can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world, man
They don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
And they're things that you miss

(chorus)

Let that city take you in
Let that city spit you out
Let that city take you down
For god's sake turn around
