I've thinking of far out places, trying to find a cool oasis

Get away from living in the streets

Where dirty money is the game, the dealer never knows your name

People marching to the same old beat

The street's alive with pretty girls, who take you all around the

World, if you've got enough to pay the price

Neon lights, they beckon you, come and see what we can do

Watch a colour movie, ain't it nice?



(Chorus)

Oh won't you please just let me use your telephone

I've had enough I want to take a taxi home

Take me from the heat, take me from this city streets

Take me, take me home -- take me home

I've been walking these streets at night, hoping I don't get in a

Fight, doing what I did the night before

Hanging 'round the alley way, wandering down by the bay

Watching drunken sailors trying to score
