One Way Town

All the boys just hang out as they stagger about
Making sure that they're on the scene
All the girls dress the part, they just cover their heart
As they search for the man of their dreams
And all through the night, they just try to escape
But when the morning comes, well, they're all back in place

It's a one-way town
And they're wild in the streets tonight
Yeah, it's a one-way town
And they dance 'til the morning light
And the world just seems to go 'round and 'round and 'round

Frank gets home late, he's just taking a break
From the office he's been living in
He works hard every day, he's in the company way
He makes almost as much as he spends
And all his friends in their expensive cars
Well, if you don't got it, they don't know who you are

It's a one-way town
And they're wild in the streets tonight
Yeah, it's a one-way town
And they dance 'til the morning light
And the cops and the hookers are on the beat
And the lovers embrace in the middle of the street
And the poets dream down on dirty sheets
And the sun will rise across the eastern sky

Down at the underpass, you can catch the last
Of the stragglers come crawlin' in
And nothing ever changes, it just all rearranges
And tomorrow's what might have been
Hey

Yeah, it's a one-way town
And they're wild in the streets tonight
Yeah, it's a one-way town
And they dance 'til the morning light
And the cops and the hookers are on the beat
And the lovers embrace in the middle of the street
And the poets dream down on dirty sheets

It's a one-way town
And they're wild in the streets tonight
Yeah, it's a one-way town
And they dance 'til the morning light
It's a one-way town
It's a one-way town
It's a one-way town
It's a one-way town
