Look up at that building It must be fifty stories tall I see the water beyond the waves I see it all Moving 'round in the morning Drink my coffee and tea I remember how I thought it would be A life for you and me CHORUS: If I can have anything I want If I can have it all Then I can take Knowing the way things are Can't you see The money's gone I would buy you a house in Discovery Bay With a deck, a boat, and a child I would buy you back the blood you've lost I'd buy us a little while There's a park outside behind the freeway I take a little ride What we borrow comes from somewhere No matter how we hide [Chorus] Summer comes and goes Nobody can hold it in But I can't get up But I won't give in Everybody loses And wins There's a view stretching over Broadway Above the noise and dim I know what I spent my money on I know what state I'm in I'll head down to California I'll head out east someday And I'm taking you for what you are And I'll be with you all along your way [Chorus]
