I know I can never be with you
But this is the wrong season for leaving you
Your heart is cold as the snow
Don't wanna be alone
I wanna go home to my skid row
It's the worst part of the play
When Juliet says she can't deal with it
No applause at the end of the show
Don't wanna be alone
I wanna go home to skid row
Where the dust steals your tomorrow
And the drinks kill your today
Where they still share and lend and borrow
'Cause there's no chance to get away
Except for those who were chosen
To be loved earnestly
Everyone's alone
Back there home in my skid row
My eyes will dry out until
I can barely see you still
And I'm losing all my pride and dough
To finally go home
Limping and slow
To my skid row
Where the dust steals your tomorrow
And the drinks kill your today
Where they still share and lend and borrow
'Cause there's no chance to get away
Except for those who were chosen
To be loved earnestly
Everyone's alone
Back there home in my skid row
In my skid row
Every song comes to an end
Every wound at least through time will mend
When the band plays the last bow
My skin and my bones
Remaining like a scarecrow
Will sadly grow old
And forever alone
But at least home
In the streets of my skid row
