On the North side of town, where the cold winds always blow
Peoples faces are hard, you see no one that you know
And on the South side of town all the bad ones are carrying guns
They're all the screaming and swearing, they even got the cops on the run

This city is full of lonely hearts
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts
We gotta get away, and make a brand new start
We gotta get away, before it falls apart

You and me, you and me
We can still make it, yeah we gotta leave

On the West side of town they say the streets are lined with gold
But the all the peoples tongues are turning black from the lies they told
On the East side of town you can hear someone's baby cry
And when the kid grows up he's gonna turn into a mean old guy

This city is full of lonely hearts
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts
We gotta get away, and make a brand new start
We gotta get away, before it falls apart

You and me, you and me
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave
You and me, you and me
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave

This city is full of lonely hearts
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts
We gotta get away, and make a brand new start
Gotta get away, before it falls apart

This city is full of lonely hearts
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts
We gotta get away, and make a brand new start
We gotta get away, before it falls apart

You and me, you and me
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave
