I've got you on the phone, sitting all alone at home
I've got you on the phone, sitting all alone at home
I can hear the neighbor screaming and there's music on the stereo
and I can tell by the way you say nothing
that you're ready to go

there's nothing going on in the streets of that little town
there's nothing going on in the streets of that little town
there are a few nice people, and a few that like to get around
but most of them have already
dug themselves a hole in the ground

and you're the mayor
and your the watch dog
and your the big brother
but it's not too late
to be a dreamer

the streets are only scary when you see 'em on the evening news
the streets are only scary when you see 'em on the evening news
it's a bill to New York City, we can meet on Bedford Avenue
I've got a friend who just moved out there and he tells me that there's plenty to do

but you're the mayor
and your the watch dog
and your the big brother
but it's not too late
to be a dreamer

the streets are only scary when you see 'em on the evening news
the streets are only scary when you see 'em on the evening news
it's a bill to California, we can meet on Melrose Avenue
I’ve got a friend who just moved out there and she tells me that there's plenty to do

or you can go to Paris
or Mexico City
or Tokyo
or Madrid
or Sri Lanka
or Amsterdam
or Buenos Aires
or Santo Domingo
or to the North Pole
