Interested only in a solitary life
Feeding off the wanton dreams
Of loving hearts and lonely lives and
You give to me
Everything I need when all I wanted
Was starry eyes and movie love
Oh, but you tried to go too far in your Patent Leather Car
The worst things that you said are now dancing in my head
And I'm left crying on the pavement
I never could have got this far without you there
But you're not there
Crying on the pavement
I never could have got this far without you there
♪
Though these child-like eyes
I see another child a child of all the daydreams in the stories of the wild
In all I'm taken in you fire my imagination
But never did I recognize the warning signs displayed
Oh, but you tried to go too far in your Patent Leather Car
The worst things that you said are now dancing in my head
And I'm left crying on the pavement
I never could have got this far without you there
But you're not there
Crying on the pavement
I never could have got this far without you there
