While you were out
The message says
You left a number
And I tried to call
But they wrote it down
In a perfect Spanish scrawl
Perfect Spanish scrawl

Yet again
I'm missing you
King size bed
In a hotel someplace
I hear your name
I see your face

The back street dolls
And the side door Johnnies
And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money

Back in the alley
Going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail
Of a midnight crawl

Heaven wouldn't be
So high I know
If the times gone by
Hadn't been so low

The best laid plans
Come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams

Sometimes I feel like screaming
Close my eyes
It's times like this
My head goes down

And the only thing I know
Is the name of this town?
Name of this town?

Yet again
I'm missing you
Won't be long
O' coming home

Until that distant time
I'll be moving on

The back street dolls
And the side door Johnnies
And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money

Back in the alley
Going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail
Of a midnight crawl

Heaven wouldn't be
So high I know
If the times gone by
Hadn't been so low

The best laid plans
Come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams

It's all in the mind
Oh, yeah, it's all in the mind, oh
It's all in the mind
It's all the mind, yeah

The back street dolls
And the side door Johnnies (it's all in the mind)
And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money

Back in the alley
Going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail
Of a midnight crawl

Heaven wouldn't be
So high I know (it's all in the mind)
If the times gone by
Hadn't been so low

The best laid plans
Come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dream
