I've been to town   I've walked the highways and the harbors too   I've done some things I never thought I'd ever do   Now as I stand here looking down at you   You ask me how it is I frown   I guess that's cause I've been to town      I've been to town   Beyond the boulevards and down the beach   I've learned some things that only time can teach   For instance: Love is more than just a speech   It's got to find a common ground   I know, because I've been to town      Don't tell me any more lies   I can't waste any more years   I've seen my image in your eyes   Dissolve in disappointed tears      I've been to town   You ask me, do I know the Milky Way?   I do, and furthermore I'd like to say   It isn't milky-white, it's dingy-grey   Especially when your world breaks down   I know, because I've been to town
