there´s a loon calling on the lake tonight tv´s goin´, it´s black and white and I was the only one who ever knew you cold coffee on a hotplate nothin´ to do but sit and wait I lied when I said I didn´t care about you
where were you when the lights went out you´ll have plenty to talk about in boystown tonight where will you when the big one comes and all your money can´t buy you none in boystown tonight goin´ to boystown
I changed my mind, changed it back again stuck around through thick and thin I swore I would never see your face again, baby every time´s your last time every line your last line one more, and you´re off to the races again
but where were you when the lights went out...
sha-la-la-la-la-la...
I´m standing at a crossroads I don´t know which way to go should I head on down the road and find a life waiting for the phone to ring some cop who´s seen ´bout everything says mister come on down and get your wife she´s out like a light
and I know all about nights like this I know all about chances missed I know you even better than you do your taxi´s here and your bag´s all packed you know they´ll always take you back you know there´s always a place there for you over in boystown over in boystown goin´ to boystown
