[Verse 1]
Let’s go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk around and mumble
Stare out at the auburn sky
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There’s an old man there from the old world
To him, it’s all the same
Calls all his customers by name
[Chorus]
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
[Verse 2]
You see a lot more meanness in the city
It’s the kind that eats you up inside
Hard to come away with anything that feels like dignity
Hard to get home with any pride
[Pre-Chorus 2]
These days a man makes you somethin’
And you never see his face
But there is no hiding place
[Chorus]
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
[Bridge]
Respectable little murders pay
They get more respectable every day
Don’t worry, girl
I’m gonna stick by you
And someday soon
We’re gonna get in that car
And get outta here
[Solo]
[Verse 1 (reprise)]
Let’s go down to the Sunset Grill
Watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk around and mumble
Gaze out at the auburn sky
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Maybe we’ll leave come springtime
Meanwhile, have another beer
What would we do without all these jerks anyway?
Besides, all our friends are here
[Chorus]
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
[Instrumental Outro]
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through
What can you do, hmm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn’t have a dress without a patch for the party to go
But you know she’ll get by
‘Cause she’s living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (It’s so cold)
And she can
It’s a good thing you don’t have a bus fare (it’s a good thing, ah-chh)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you’d lose it in the snow on the ground (a-ah-e-ah)
You got to walk into town to find a job (what’s enough?)
Tryin’ to keep your hands warm (it’s so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through and chill you to the bone (brr-cha)
Somehow you’d better go home where it’s warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
And she can
Living on a dream ain’t easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit (closer the knit)
And the chills stay away (a-ah-e-ah)
‘Cause we take ’em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is in your foundation (ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na)
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don’t forget to pray (forget to pray)
It’s makin’ it strong, where you belong
And we’re living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
And she can
Yes, we’re living in the love of the common people
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smile’s really hard on a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
Oh woh woh, no matter how below (how)
Oh, oh woh
It’s dark and cold tonight, I’m walking all alone
And one step at a time I’m getting closer
I know she’s hard to find, instinctively I try
To take the path of love into the night
There would be no reason if you really didn’t care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don’t know why but it’s so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh oh-oh yeah
No answers question me, no one’s been here before
I am the first to see the light at your door
If I could hold you now I wouldn’t disagree
With these four walls you’re protecting me, oh-oh-ooh
There would be no reason if you really didn’t care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don’t know why but it’s so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh yeah
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel the love that’s surrounding me coming out of you
I can feel it (coming out, coming out, coming out) yeah
The door is open wide (is anybody there)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
(I really don’t know why but it’s so easy to breathe) mmm, breathe
Oh oh-oh-oh (I know this must be the room in your heart)
I know this must be, I know this must be
I know, ooh ooh, is anybody there
Oh oh (the door is open wide, is anybody there) oh oh
(I know this must be the room in your heart) ah ah
(I really don’t know why) I really don’t know why
(But it’s so easy to breathe)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You’ll drink the night away
And forget about ev’rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It’s got so many people, but it’s got no soul
And it’s taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’d be happy
Just one more year and then you’d be happy
But you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ now
Way down the street there’s a light in his place
He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
And he asks you where you’ve been
You tell him who you’ve seen
And you talk about anything
He’s got this dream about buying some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he’ll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev’rything
But you know he’ll always keep movin’
You know he’s never gonna stop movin’
‘Cause he’s rollin’, he’s the rolling stone
When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
You’re goin’, you’re goin’ home
I’ma care for you
I’ma care for you, you, you, you
You make it look like it’s magic (oh, yeah)
‘Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I’m never confused
Hey, hey, and I’m so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected
‘Cause I hate when the moment’s expected
So I’ma care for you, you, you
I’ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
‘Cause girl, you’re perfect
You’re always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
‘Cause girl, you earned it, yeah
Girl, you earned it, yeah
You know our love would be tragic (oh, yeah)
So you don’t pay it, don’t pay it no mind, mind, mind
We live with no lies
Hey, hey, and you’re my favorite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected
‘Cause I hate when the moment’s expected
So I’ma care for you, you, you
I’ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
‘Cause girl, you’re perfect (girl, you’re perfect)
You’re always worth it (always worth it)
And you deserve it (and you deserve it)
The way you work it (the way you work it)
‘Cause girl, you earned it, yeah (earned it)
Girl, you earned it, yeah
On that lonely night (lonely night)
Said it wouldn’t be love
But we felt the rush (fell in love)
It made us believe it was only us (was only us)
Convinced we were broken inside, yeah
Inside, yeah
‘Cause girl, you’re perfect (girl, you’re perfect)
You’re always worth it (you’re always worth it)
And you deserve it (and you deserve it)
The way you work it (the way you work it)
‘Cause girl, you earned it, yeah (girl, you earned it)
Girl, you earned it, yeah (girl, you earned it)
Na-na-na-na
Oh, yeah, yeah
‘Cause girl, you’re perfect
The way you work it
You deserve it
Girl, you deserve it
Girl, you earned it, yeah
I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time’s gonna fly
And I’m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how break them
And I always know the name of the game
But I don’t know how to leave you
And I’ll never let you fall
And I don’t know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all
Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky
Is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it’s lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I gotta follow it
‘Cause everything I own, now
It’s nothing till I give it to you
I can make you find your power
I can make you lose your fear
I can make your body do some very magical things
I’ll make your inhibitions all disappear
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
But I’m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl
And I’m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
