They called her Synthesizer Suzi
And Fast Fingers Flynn &
Bobby you played saxophone
Like you'd never play again
We all four got together
In a divey weekend bar
Working on our standards
Seeing who would be the star
Out on the town
Bobby, I knew you were a gambler
'Cause you made my wheel spin
I should have known you cheated
'Cause you'd never fail to win
We all knew you were a joker
And your luck was running thin
When they took you one cold morning
Out on the town
Out on the town
We're gonna make our rounds
Out on the town
We're gonna close it down
Out on the town
To the last call of the last bar
Out on the town
Now I walk along these darkened streets
With an open mind 'cause I'm tryin' to reach
The memory that brought me here
On this lonely night for one last tear
Suzi you moved up town for good
Flynn you would if you thought you could
And I'm still staring these same walls down
On a dirty street...Out on the town
Out on the town
We're gonna make our rounds
Out on the town
We're gonna close it down
Out on the town
To the last call of the last barYou will always be the one that I adore
Means so much to me but dreams you were before
It's you Emily that makes me write this song
Your eyes are open wide, but still so much to see
All that's new to you seems so old to me
Now I'm far away a minute seems so long
It's just another day without you
It's just another day when I'm not there
I'm going to find a way to be so close to you
You've got to know how much I care
It's just another day without you
It's just another day when I'm not there
I am going to give my love, my heart, my soul to you
All this I'll give to you I swear
Longing to hold you feel you in my arms
Never let you go far from me for long
Girl I promise you my feelings are so strong
Eyes are open wide but still so much to see
All that's new to you, seems so old to me
When I'm far away a minute seems so long
Chorus
If only you could read what's on my mind
See right through my eyes
You'd sooner realize
