Californian boys and New York city girls are overtaking menThey’re so damn clever you seenAnd I’ve been sitting on my own for far too longnThere must be something wrong. Something’s going onnnEveryone walks a little fast today, everyone’s just a little further away,nAnd everyone’s got it going on in a big waynnCould you be loved when you’re lost without a trace?nCould you be loved even though you’ve got such an ugly face?nCould you be somebody’s only saving grace?nCould you be loved?nnA thousand taxis full of faces pass me by, they’re ignoring menThey’re far too busy you seenAs all the businessmen cling to their girlfriends’ handsnSo they can take them home, to get them on their ownnnIf they smile then their makeup starts to fadenIf they kiss then their lipstick smears awaynIf they fuck, then they needn’t have bothered in the first placennAnd I watch them all go pastnAnd I still can’t move a limbnAnd I watch them all go past
