lyrics

goodbye to my santa monica dream
fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
you tell me stories of the sea
and the ones you left behind
goodbye to the roses on your street
goodbye to the paintings on the wall
goodbye to the children we'll never meet
and the ones we left behind
i'm somewhere, you're somewhere
i'm nowhere, you're nowhere
you're somewhere, you're somewhere
and i can go there, but i don't
i'm in the kitchen making pizza
somewhere down in battery park
i'm singing songs about the future
wondering where you are
i could call you on the telephone
do i really wanna know?
you're making love now to the new boy down the road
no i don't, i don't wanna know
i'm somewhere, you're somewhere
i'm nowhere, you're nowhere
i'm somewhere, i'm somewhere
and i can go there, but i don't
goodbye to my santa monica dream
fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
you tell me stories of the sea
and the ones we left behind
and the ones we left behind
