You call me
Why do you call me?
Why do I answer?
When I know
Oh, I know you're crying
Why are you crying?
Oh, how can you say that?
When you know
Oh, you know that you were the sun giving up behind the golden gate
Now you're the bum begging up and down the Lower Haight

Oh, you know that you were the band going out to play one more song
Now you're the giant out on second 'cause you thought he was gone

I call her
Why do I call her?
And why does she answer?
When she knows
Oh, she knows I was laughing
Why am I laughing?
Oh and how can I say that?
When I know
Oh, I know that I was a fire-escape party over Union Square
Now I'm a cab driver screwing over every fare

Oh, I know that I was a young Dylan tossing off a perfect verse
Now I'm another damn Yankee can't toss it to first
(I know you know)
(She knows I know)
No, I can't toss it to first
(You know she knows)
(I know you know)
Lord I can't toss it to first
(She knows I know)
Oh, we know that we were the band going out to play one more song
Now you're the giant out on second 'cause you thought he was gone
