Out of my front door
On to the subway
Into the city
Out to the ocean
Where are you going
It was only last Monday
You told me that you loved me
And we spoke of all our hopes and our wishes
Chorus
Oh you say you know me oh so well
When I don’t even know myself
I went to your best friend’s
She showed me the photo
Attached to the letter
That you had sent her
Parlez-vous Fracais
So I ran to the harbor
And told the captain about my lover
And we set off on our overseas adventure
Chorus
Oh you say you know me oh so well
When I don’t even know myself
Bridge
The streets are filled with dancing girls
And the world is spinning on inside
Beside a garden wall I walk
But I’m unphased by its beauty
I stumble crumbling cobble walkways
And hear a faint familiar voice
Light cracks the tattered shutters
As the sound of loving laughter fades away
I know I’ve come a long way in vain
Out of the city
Where no one speaks to me
Into a taxi
Out to the ocean
Where am I going
