Wave to the poor man
walking to this train
to find police man.
He don't bother me no more.
And as a strange one,
at least that's what you said was in your leaving.
Gone forever out my door.
Cry, cry sad guy
Where's your bored and simple night?
Where's your moonlight?
And boo hoo, poor you.
What's a lonely boy to do
with the moonlight?
And all the money sounds
in Brooklyn, baby.
And she's a singer
in the band.
She was my love once,
But it's okay, I understand.
She's found herself another man.
And that's just fine.
How does a good man grow cold?
How does an innocent girl become such a whore?
How does a young man grow old?
I can't stand it anymore.
Sewer, river
Skinny, shiver
A can man doing cans
City worker,
Alley lurker
A can man doing cans
Cry, cry sad guy
where's your bored and simple night?
Where's your moonlight?
Boo hoo, poor you
What's a lonely boy to do
with the moonlight?
And all the money sounds
in Brooklyn, baby.
She's a singer
in the band.
She was my love one time,
but it's all right, I understand.
She found herself another man.
And that's all right.
And how does a good man grow cold?
How does an innocent girl become such a whore?
How does a young man grow old?
I can't stand it anymore.
I can't stand you anymore.
