Backseat in the car, said it will be alright
What good to be alive when it's too late?
Across the city lights, such a beautiful lie
The backbeat of my heart is gone to sway
Taxied in my lungs, there are no peaceful times
An alien inside, I've gone astray
Way beyond the line, good people fall in crime
Communication down, I'm thrown away
Head east in a car, the smoke electrified
At least we have the night of yesterday
Across the city line, my world is westernized
The backbeat of my heart is gone to sway
Dangerous emotions intertwined and getting high
The end of everything, don't stop, let me try
Long for the west end girl
Nothing will be alright
Long for the west end girl
I've got way too many downs with all the planes high in the sky
Tangled in a tryst, oh please, in any town
Dangerous emotions intertwined and getting high
The end of everything, don't stop, don't let me die
Long for the west end girl
Nothing will be alright
Long for the west end girl
