Young man made it to the city   Searching through the wet streets   Looking for a rock 'n' roll band   Caught the rip off train to freedom   A line of agents holding out their hand      Work your arses off forever   Midnight highways really bring you down   But you're there and you're working   So don't complain so many miss the train      Chorus      Find a sound lay it down   They say it's underground   Starts to sell do it well   But you never can tell      Now the young man's star shines brightly   Breaking hearts his records in the charts   Finds it hard to freak twice nightly   Falls in love the hardest fall of all      Chorus      He was just a lonely boy   A very well known clown   He was just a lonely boy and down      Chorus
