Lyrics of

I can't write home about you

	
Here in the heart of the city 
The night world has no name
I wrote a letter last night 
And I tried to explain
Here, they say life is reckless and free 
And I guess that I agree
It was hard to say 
I found a way 
But oh, no...

I can't write home about you 
I can't write home about you
Folks back home
They got a four-letter word about it 
I heard about you

Bitch girls bring their money downtown 
To hear those cat-house blues
Thin men with a dollar three-eighty 

With nothing to lose
Tonight, I'll find myself in this all 
Then I'll know that I belong
My whole world is here
I'll make it clear?
But oh, no...

[Chorus]

Gin and roses hold on
We'll spiral down
Soul dancing at the cafe 
Bottom of the underground

[Solo]

Tonight, I'll find myself in this all
Then I'll know that I belong
My whole world is here 
I'll make it clear
But oh, no...

[Chorus (2x)]
