Lyrics

Boys and Girls

[Verse 1]

I'm a stranger in your town

That's the place I belong

Laid behind the frame

And the curtain's torn again

A wailing saxophone

And you know it's all in my song

All the sin that I can take

But you don't even know my name

[Chorus]

Boys and girls

Boys and girls

Boys and girls

[Verse 2]

You've got so sense of fun

Oh, but you know I've one

All the good has turned to bad

Ah, you know what I think of that

No time to dream, no time to sigh

No time to kill when love walks by

And who's that crying in the street

Death is the friend I've yet to meet

Oh...

[Chorus]

Boys and girls

Boys and girls

Boys and girls

Boys and girls
