Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm kicking off from center field
A question of being down for the game
One shot deal don't matter
And the other one's the same
[Verse 2]
Oh, my friend I see you
Want you to come through, alright
And they're staring at shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
[Verse 3]
She's leaving, plane to America
Suitcase in her hand
I said her brothers and her sisters
Are all on Atlantic sand
[Verse 4]
Screaming through the alley way
I hear the lonely cry, why can't you?
And her batteries are corroded
And her hundred-watt bulb just blew
[Verse 5]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La-la-la-la-la
Hey, hey, hey
La-la-la-la-la
Alright, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
[Verse 6]
She used to hang out down at miss Lucy's
Every weekend, they would get loose
And it was a straight clear case of
Having taken in too much juice
[Verse 7]
It was outside, and it was outside
Just the nature of the person
Now all you got to remember
After all, it's all showbiz
[Verse 8]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Hey, hey, hey, hey
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
[Verse 9]
We're just screaming through the alley way
I hear the lonely cry, why can't you?
And they're staring at shadows
Canal street lights all turn blue
And they're standing in the shadows
Where the street lights all turn blue
And they're standing in the shadows
Down where street lights all turn blue
Hey, hey
