lyrics

Leave the lights on for the lonely
Burn a fire for the weak
Tend to your own wounds baby
Mine just need some sleep
Follow me down 7th street and meet me by the park
Look me up and look me down
And pull me through the dark

Put some quarters in the jukebox
And dance with me awhile
I feel hurricanes inside my veins
When you turn my way and smile

The sleepless boys of San Francisco
Build castles in the sand
The magic ladies seem to know
The cracks and lines inside your hand
The moonlight drifts across the night
And fades into the mist
The ever-changing punchline
You need that and I need this

Put some quarters in the jukebox
And dance with me awhile
I feel hurricanes inside my veins
When you turn my way and smile

So put your arms around me and tell me its ok
I’ve got better things to do girl
But nothing else to do today
There’s worry and there’s wisdom
And something between
Recollect and you protect the fancy fallen cosmic queen

Rooftops sag in summer stench
And August crawls on by

Put some quarters in the jukebox
And dance with me awhile
I feel hurricanes inside my veins
When you turn my way and smile
