Ballad of a Sad Young Man
Sing a song of sad young men
Glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars
Knowing neon nights
And missing all the stars
All the sad young men
Drifting through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown
All the sad young men
Singing in the cold
Trying to forget
That they're growing old All the sad young men
Choking on their youth
Trying to be brave
Running from the truth
While a grimy moon watches from above
All the sad young men play at making love
Misbegotten moon, shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light
Guide them home again
All the sad young men
