I'm racked and infallible
I'm burning, clean your eyes
Once in a while
Things get really bad
Gone are the nights of harmony
I walk with a gape
I feel the loneliness
And the street lights sway
I want to be a father
I want to be a ghost
I want to be a lover
In a city of lovers
I want to be a highway
Stretching to the horizon
How many, how far
Do you know where you are?
In the hospital of life
It's a psych E.R.
But what do I know
About fixing peoples problems
When I've got something wrong
That I can't make right
I want to be a father
I want to be a ghost
I want to be a lover
In a city of lovers
It ain't so easy to get in here
But it's not so hard
I want to be a boy again
I want to be a first kiss
I want to be a traveling train running rails
I want to be a highway
Stretching to the horizon…
I want to be a boy again
I want to be a first kiss
I want to be a traveling train running rails
I want to be a highway
Stretching to the horizon
I want to be a father
I want to be a ghost
I want to be a lover
In a city of lovers
It ain't so easy to get in here
But it's not so hard
In a city of lovers…
