When I walk into your room There's a special kind of gloom It looks deserted Cigarettes and empty rum How'd you use it when you're never home You're always somewhere They raise you up To bring you down And that's when you'd come around There's always one to whom you run But one day there will be none And it's always a matter of time It's never a question When they get you out of this town You'll make an impression Hold on, Hold on Don't you know You don't need to go there at all We don't go back to your room It's a safe place you found long ago But now it's empty You built it up to burn it down You thought you'd never come down You had it once but now it's gone And so you're left on your own And you're getting too old for this town They're losing their interest You thought you'd be shining by now They said you were different Hold on, Hold on Don't you know You don't need to go there at all (It's hard to explain this young lady and man They say they don't want to be explained One is a beautiful actress, she calls herself a superstar The other is a young man, named) Hold on, Hold on Don't you know You don't need to go there at all
