Romantic dreams and visions, no better way to be
The world as an offering laid down at my feet
Young and free forever, never have to make a choice
But you all know that I’m fooling myself
How long can one man go on living a lie?

Ch: So I beg you please don’t leave me in this city
With another round to play
I feel like everything is happening so many miles and miles away
Please don’t leave me in this city 

When you’re leaving for the coast
I want the truth, I want the power
And I don’t want nothing else


Watch us as we kid ourselves struggling through the weeks
Like following the Green Cross Code when the tanks are on the streets
It would be better for us to shoot it out at the OK Coral
Than to go in these soured silences
How long can one man go on living a lie?

Ch: So I beg you please don’t leave me in this city…
 
(Sullivan/Morrow 1980)
