I Never Saw My Hometown 'Til I Went Around the World

歌詞

Love is like a razor when you're looking for a shave Shed off all your dignity I'll race you to your grave The driver's getting sentimental talking 'bout this girl I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world Going up to Canada the record company Are paying for the trip you know that all the drinks are free She may just leave her lover for me it's getting quite absurd I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world Tuesday night The Rain Parade come crashing in my room Matt was stoned and Beggars phoned the chart position's gloom You'd better call the embassy my hair is gonna curl I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world Been awake for thirty hours I think I'm going down With some habituary illness that's been going round this town Dreaming of Waikiki where we know we felt like kings But the reverie is slaughtered when the telephone rings Pulling on a cigarette and scratching at my beard Talking 'bout the folks at home this DJ thinks I'm weird Crawl around the floor pick up the beer cans that you hurl You saw your hometown 'til you went round the world Love is like a razor when you're looking for a shave Shed off all your dignity I'm gonna race you to your grave Getting sentimental thinking 'bout a girl I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world, no I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world, no I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world
