Around the singles bar, playing parlour games   Marriane plays kiss and run and waves her welcomes again.   She's way out after dark, painted for the part,   To steal some young man's week away and rob him of his   Heart.   To tease the lonelv brute with the dark blue tatoo   They choose the longer route up to his room   And leaning an the light, pursuing dirty nights   And eagle out on bail surveys his nails.    CHORUS   Young men gone west for a city roof   Young men gone west for their gin and vermouth   Young men gone west, it's young men for the boys   Leaving the next for their jewels and toys   Young men gone west from unhappy homes   Leading the way for the lonely ones.     Now Harry's lost weekend is trembling to a close,   He's drowned his dreams in nicotine and pawned his   Overcoat   He stumbles to the stairs, disturbs a love affair,   He shuffles as they stare and begs to be elsewhere   But can he claim a willing ear before they disappear   He's sure a lover's time worth a dime.    CHORUS   Young men gone west into kisses and crime   Seeing the stairway and wanting to, climb   Young men gone west for the rodeo, mistaking strangers   For people they know   Young men gone west, just wasting their days   Asking directions and losing their way.    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
