I’m singing for a touch you try to get at me
Hollin’ themselves for not a single day
Sophisticated friends who play in  rock n’ roll bands
So come on, come on, come on
And leave us smoking alone

At the third time:

There’s nothing left to do here on a Saturday night
I’m sick of all these hearts praised on  big city lights
The feelers on the left, the forties on the right
Now come on, come on, come on, come on
