lyrics
In the moonlight, in a place downtown I tried / to pull my head up, beneath the white hot lights / hymns and rock ‘n’ roll / whatever will save your soul
When I first saw her she was singing the blues / about a boy that she once knew / But he ain’t comin’ around anymore / No he ain’t comin’ around anymore, anymore
Will you do me a favor? / just a broken man in a teenage band / Will you stay a little later? / there’s an open door and a great big world / you don’t live in a dream / but I do, girl, I do, girl / you don’t live in a dream / but I do, yeah I do
I remember a sprite with wild eyes / raised on fairytales and lullabies / the world let her down / left when midnight came around
And I used to have some good times / before love fell by the wayside / Converse strung over the power lines / Cinderella, I can take you out tonight
If you do me a favor / just a broken man in a teenage band / Will you stay a little later? / there’s an open door and a great big world / you don’t live in a dream / but I do, girl, I do, girl / you don’t live in a dream / but I do, yeah I do
Now I’m stuck here, singing the blues / about a girl that I never knew / she ain’t comin’ around anymore / she ain’t comin’ around anymore, anymore
Will you do me a favor / just a broken man in a teenage band / Will you stay a little later / there’s an open door and a great big world / you don’t live in a dream / but I do, girl, I do, girl / you don’t live in a dream / but I do, yeah I do
