I used to wander these streets
when my head was about to explode
I pass the graveyard where I thought I’d lie by now
I kick the autumn leaves and I smile ’cause of the things
you said to me tonight
I said goodnight to you
you said goodnight to me
and I said “Do you think that things will turn out right Lily?”
and you said “Yes, I think that everything is gonna be alright someday somehow”
I’d like to show you these streets
I’d like to go New York with you
I’d like to wrap my arms around you and
say that ”I hope so too” when you say
“Yes, I think that everything is gonna be alright someday somehow”
Come gather ’round people scared people just like me
Come addicts and misfits come all ages now
Come prostitutes and hobos and listen to what she has to say
She says everything is gonna be alright someday
oh listen now she says “Yes, I think that everything is gonna be alright someday somehow”
Someday somehow
She says “Yes, I think that everything is gonna be alright someday somehow”
