The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yah, I don't know if i'll ever see you again, yah
You looked so lost I don't know where you've been
Oh Yah
Can you tell me why you ran away and made the dark your life?
Can I take you home and bring you in the light
Well you might think that should not want it to get any better,
And in a way that might be true,
But workin' one more night will only make you better,
There aint much more you can do.
Yah, The streets are so lonely they call your name,
yah, Why would you ever want to play that game?
Oh Yah, People come and go and and get there bits of what you
offer them,
Can I take you home because you'll never win.
Well you might think that should not want it to get any better,
And in a way that might be true
But workin one more night will only make you better
There aint much more you can do
Jump! Well its safe to say whats goin on is getting the dough,
Take it from me a middle class night for a turn about run about,
Well get your cash,
Well Motel 6 will get you nowhere,
Pack your bags your on your way,
wo wo wo
wo wo wo
