[Verse 1]
Woman cry—chase a man down street crying
"No Chuckie, no, please don't"
Another girl comes they run along St. Andrew
Turn south on Kensington
Meanwhile Chuckie beats it down the alley by the chicken packer's
By the time I reach the corner they've all vanished
Just a deaf kid talking like Popeye
To a large fleshy laughing man in a blue shirt
[Chorus]
You pay your money and you take your chance
When you're dealing with love and romance
Pay your money and you take your chance
When you're dealing with love and romance
[Verse 2]
Down the alley past the fire escape
A woman is talking on the telephone
Kitchen light spills out, laughter riding on its beam
In the maze of Moebius streets
We're trying to amuse ourselves to death
Under the deep sky that's squatting so close over us tonight
You'd think it was trying to hatch us
The numb and confused
The battered and bruised
The counters of cost
And the star-crossed
Woman cry—chase a man down street crying
"No Chuckie, no, please don't"
Another girl comes they run along St. Andrew
Turn south on Kensington
Meanwhile Chuckie beats it down the alley by the chicken packer's
By the time I reach the corner they've all vanished
Just a deaf kid talking like Popeye
To a large fleshy laughing man in a blue shirt
[Chorus]
You pay your money and you take your chance
When you're dealing with love and romance
Pay your money and you take your chance
When you're dealing with love and romance
[Verse 2]
Down the alley past the fire escape
A woman is talking on the telephone
Kitchen light spills out, laughter riding on its beam
In the maze of Moebius streets
We're trying to amuse ourselves to death
Under the deep sky that's squatting so close over us tonight
You'd think it was trying to hatch us
The numb and confused
The battered and bruised
The counters of cost
And the star-crossed
