the story of my life was such   that nobody wanted to hear
and every time I told it   they put their hands across their ears
so I went down to the dirty city   where the people live on dreams
and sang out on the corner   trying to turn the heads of kings and queens
I sang

oo
oo
oo

to the dirty city
then I noticed the back of a matchbook   and it didn’t make much sense at all
it said people heading to the stars   get a better chance to fall
I thought that’s no good to you and me   we got so far to go
then I realized though truth is free   it’s only the lies that show
I sang oo
oo
oo
to the dirty city
some people work hard all their lives   and never get a thing
some people seem to do nothing   but have all their life can bring
well you and I are working so hard   trying to get somewhere
but then maybe when we get there   we’ll find we didn’t really care
we'll sing oo
oo
oo
to the dirty city
