I don't want to work that hard I don't need that kind of drive I just want to hear that chord I just want to lay on the boulevard Your logic seems dumb to me Your vision I don't see Though I guess you feel fine as you are Send yourself a greetings card I've been thinking long and hard I just want to lay on the boulevard Life goes on, on the boulevard When I choke on your gasoline Drop no coins in charity I don't want your big gold heart I just want to lay on the boulevard Sirens laughing into the night All day parties, well, alright But we come in alone, and we go out alone I looked for you but you were broken Singing songs you didn't understand
Well, this is my land Toss my hat to the stars above Don't need to be real Things are real enough You might as well know This is straight from the heart I just want to lay on the boulevard Life goes on, on the boulevard Smart, smart, real smart Stand in the light But live in the darkness I believed in you when no one else did Even after the gods had delivered their verdict I was always there with a tuned guitar With a gentle word or a poke in the arm You might as well know This is straight from the heart Now you and I are miles apart As I watch your shooting star I just want to lay on the boulevard
