Description
Song from the debut LP of this prolific singer-songwriter-guitarist, who cut his teeth in the New York City punk rock scene before striking out on his own. This uplifting track tells the story of a young artist of the city, who might be looking for love in all the wrong places, but then again, he just might find it...
Lyrics
Got a new place, but it don’t feel like home Memories piled high, but I feel all alone Tonight I just can’t go back yet Stop by that bar and light a cigarette I go inside and look around Lookin’ for some pretty place to drown Order a drink, but it doesn’t help Won’t kill this feeling in myself My life is a mixture of glory and ruins And I don’t know what the hell I’m doin’ All I know is I can’t leave As long as you’re standing next to me Hey, Colleen, don’t go home And leave me standing here alone Just stay and smoke your cigarette We’ll talk ‘til we got nothing left I feel like I could never die Looking so deep into your eyes Let’s keep this night alive and free And not let it go, hey, Colleen An hour or two, I lose track Couple conversations in the back No point in stayin’, walk out the door Oh, what the hell, I’ll smoke one more Then it happens, then it starts Big lurchin’ feelin’ in my heart A misty voice asks for a light And for the first time I look in your eyes My life is a mixture of glory and ruins And I don’t know what the hell I’m doin’ All I know is I can’t leave As long as you’re standing next to me Hey, Colleen, don’t go home And leave me standing here alone Just stay and smoke your cigarette We’ll talk ‘til we got nothing left I feel like I could never die Looking so deep into your eyes Let’s keep this night alive and free And not let it go, hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen, hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen, hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen, don’t go home And leave me standing here alone Just stay and smoke your cigarette We’ll talk ‘til we got nothing left I feel like I could never die Looking so deep into your eyes Let’s keep this night alive and free And not let it go, hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen, hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen, hey, Colleen Hey, Colleen, hey, Colleen
