The streets where I used to walk are so far away
And the yard where I used to play is so far away
And the place where I used to stay is so far away
Rain, Rain coming down
How I wish I was home again
Everyone wears a frown
How I wish I was home again
Memories of my friends are so far away
Memories of my loves are so far away
Mother's soothing voice is so far away
Rain, Rain coming down
How I wish I was home again
Everyone wears a frown
How I wish I was home again
Time fades and good things go away
How much longer till the end of days?
How much longer till the end of life?
How long a time before I run out of tears?
How long a time before I face up to my fears?
How long a time before it all disappears?
Rain, Rain coming down
How I wish I was home again
Everyone wears a frown
How I wish I was home again
The person I once was is so far away
All dressed up for fortune and fame
Like whatever happened to Baby Jane
All the young girls will see me in triumph
I'm Queen Bitch I'm Lady Defiant
All I need is a Party Dress
My lipsticks smeared my brain is a mess
My mental developments in arrest
And all I need is a Party Dress
I'm the Norma Desmond of the Glam Rock Era
But the glitters all gone from my mascara
There once was a time when I was the rage
But now I'm locked up in a loony birdcage
All I need is a Party Dress
My lipsticks smeared my brain is a mess
My mental developments in arrest
And all I need is a Party Dress
I see a shadow on my wall
From another world I hear the call
I think I might need a drink
It might be later than I think
In the midnight time
And the winds are howling o'er head
In the midnight time
And the plans that I made have all gone to the grave in the gloom
Try to run try to get away
Held in place by dreams of yesterday
I think I might need a drink'
It might be later than I think
In the midnight time
And the spirits are crying out
In the midnight time
And the treasures and tokens and promises broken in the gloom
Lead:
Pray for me pray my time has come
Can't keep dancing forward to doubtful drums
Please give me something to believe
I'm out of hope and out of grief
In the midnight time
And the winds are howling o'er head
In the midnight time
The reason to be has abandoned me in the gloom
Walking 'round no oxygen city
Look at the girls and they're looking so pretty
I wanna take 'em by my side
But no matter how hard I try
I'm on my own
I'm all alone
Who is she to tell me to leave her
She's got no style she's not a believer
Well I'm dressed up like all get up
Enough to make any girl sit up
I'm on my own
I'm all alone
Last night I was talking to TV
It's the only thing that talks back to me
It said I'm gone or losing my mind
I can't even talk to my kind
I'm on my own
I'm all alone
Why don't you sing for us? Go Man Go
Rockin out is a must Go Man Go
Sing us songs we never heard Go Man Go
We will not be reserved Go Man Go
Well I'm walking down a be-bop street
Got supersonic speed on the beat
Gimmie some of that what you on
We'll rock & roll till the night is gone
Bottom on the bass is in the know Go Man Go
Tells my feet just where to go Go Man Go
Drummer is pounding out a schism Go Man Go
Giving me a rhythm exorcism Go Man Go
I'm way over the rainbow and the sky is black
Don't know where I'm going but I can't get back
Toto, I know we're not in
Kansas anymore
I need some magic slippers to take me away
My streets are not made of yellow bricks
They're awash in booze and Doctor's scripts
A pill for the night a pill for the day
Flying monkeys on my back tearing me apart
Casting away my brain, my courage and my heart
Wild, wild girl
Back in 73
You'd make it to the top
You'd make history
You want it now you got it now it's gone
You quit this town
Moved out east
Downtown Babylon
Living with the beast
You want it now you got it now it's gone
A few years of fortune
A couple of fame
Now your back
A forgotten name
You want it now you got it now it's gone
