She walks in her high heels to an opposite beat,
At 3 in the morning, on a cold we street,
While hailing a Flash cab, in the misty rain,
The street light captures, her get away,
On a night in the big bright city,
On the wall of a billboard sign,
In between what's to have and have not,
Living large to pass the time,
Lives a girl inside who's hollow,
Even though amongst a crowd,
With a mask that's always smiling,
Just behind there lies a frown,
I've got these dancing blues like crazy,
I've got to work this out my baby,
I'm on my knees while the lights surround me,
I tip my hat while the world is burning
The sound of a whistle, from a distant train,
Awakens the moonlight of an afterglow,
She stops at the corner, of State and Bloom,
And closes her door now, as her night is through,
On a night in the big bright city,
On the wall of a billboard sign,
In between what's to have and have not,
Living large to pass the time,
Lives a girl inside who's hollow,
Even though amongst a crowd,
With a mask that's always smiling,
Just behind there lies a frown,
I've got these dancing blues like crazy,
I've got to work this out my baby,
I'm on my knees while the lights surround me,
I tip my hat while the world is burning
Guitar Solo:
I've got these dancing blues like crazy,
I've got to work this out my baby,
I'm on my knees while the lights surround me,
I tip my hat while the world is burning
I've got these dancing blues like crazy,
I've got to work this out my baby,
I'm on my knees while the lights surround me,
I tip my hat while the world is burning
