Lyrics: (my own interpretation, NOT perfect!)
(Verse):
Bent shyly, hundreds of miles away
my bed is warm it waits for me.
Lost in Chicago, no money in my
pocket and the rain on my face.
(Chorus):
And carry on they say to me.
And carry on they saaayyyyyy.
(Verse):
The Elroys lost my flyer 'till they
picked up the show and wouldn't you know that,
No-one can tell me, and even if they
do well I don't understand, no.
(Chorus)
(Verse):
Drunk in Belmont, she laughs at something
in a doughnut shop, well I like her smile, yeah.
Coffee sounds good, but that kiss has me
changing my mind, no.
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
You don't know nobody, no but still they
go on and I know it's so blind.
(Chorus)
End on a B, bass does the outro.
