Safe at home as the sun sets   Cry me a river   Or sing me a song   One about your life   Where nothing is sacrificed   I am a new man   Or no one at all      You and me, we're the shortest answer   To my little question   I'm just hanging around   If I could be that young   How could I be that dumb?   The tears of a class clown   Oh yeah, they're drowning the city      And build the shopping malls   And pave the parking stalls   And tie your hair back   In your work-stained overalls      I know I've done my part   I know these roads by heart   And I could close my eyes and find my way   I'd find my way (x2)      And I hope you figure out   That I was only joking      And in my car I ride the eastern hillside   Rollin' another and lightin' it up   'Cause it's the only way   At least that's what I say   I'm burning forever with the lights of the city      Sing that song about laying back and sprawling out   And give me something that I just can't live without   For all the times I have tried by the water side   Just to close my eyes and find my way   Find my way (x3)      But you'll never figure out   That I was only joking
