He goes down with the stars

And did you ever have one of those days

About who you'll offend every time that you even blink

I'm going to the station where a big red train
C majorC D MajorD
Is waiting to take me to the country again

Then you'll come from Yonkers, but why should I care

It'll rain and rain for days and days and you know I won't be there
