On the north where the cold wind's always blow People's faces are hard, you see no one that you know And on the south side of town the bad guys are carrying guns They're always screaming and swearing, they even got the cops on a run This city is full of lonely hearts And all the gutters are filled with broken parts We gotta get away and make a brand new start We gotta get away before it falls apart You and me You and me We can still make it We've got to leave On the north side of town they say the streets are lined with gold But all the people's tongues are turned black from the lies they told On the east side of town you can hear someone's baby cry And when that kid grows up, he's gonna turn into a mean old guy This city is full of lonely hearts And all the gutters are filled with broken parts We gotta get away and make a brand new start We gotta get away before it falls apart You and me You and me We can still make it We've got to leave You and me You and me We can still make it We've got to leave This city is full of lonely hearts And all the gutters are filled with broken parts We gotta get away and make a brand new start We gotta get away before it falls apart This city is full of lonely hearts And all the gutters are filled with broken parts We gotta get away and make a brand new start We gotta get away before it falls apart You and me You and me We can still make it We've got to leave
