[Verse 1]
Shammy cleaning all the windows
Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul
And I hear blue strains of no regrets
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we sit upon this jagged
Story block, with you my friend

Yeaaahh, And it's a long way, long way to Buffalo
It's a long way to Belfast city too
Hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
'Cause this town, they bit off much more than they can chew
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

[Verse 2]
All the orange cratеs are stacked up
Get to Safeway's supermarket in the rain
Everybody feels so determined
Not to have to feel anyone else's pain
No one making no commitments
Anybody but themselves
Tryin' to get outside closed doorways
Tryin' to get outside empty shells
And for every cross-cut country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
All the chains and badges, flags and emblems
Every strain on every brain and every eye
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

[Verse 3]
All the restaurant tables are completely covered
And the company has paid out for the wine
Got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now, right about now your face should wear a smile
[Get on up]
That's the way it all should happen
When you're in the state you're in
You've got your pen and notebook ready
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
And we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the wino few
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But they're flying too high to see my point of view
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

[Verse 4]
See them freedom marching
In the street, [Saint Dominic's preview]
Can I get a witness?

Freedom marching in the street

Up in the window

Can I get a witness?
