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 hot plate 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 be 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 Where were you when the lights went out You'll have plenty to talk about In Boystown tonight Where will you be when the big one comes And all your money can't buy you none In Boystown tonight Goin' to boystown 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 Sha-la-la-la-la-la...
