Lost in Boston - The Walkmen

Lost in Boston

Drinkin' rum and chocolate

A hundred thousand blinking lights

Are making me exhausted

It was Fleet Week last week

And all the sailors couldn’t sleep

Mini skirts and high heeled shoes

Raining mud on shiny suits

Tell everyone the officers are gone

This night has lived too long

It’s pissing rain, the leaves are

All scattered on the lawn

We’re cramming our stuff in The back of the car

And heading on uptown

And nothing’s going on This night has lived too long

Nothing’s going on There’s nothing more to it Now, you can hear us shout

For miles around

Somewhere uptown

I hear you calling from our street

The traffic lights turn red to green

I’ll be right down

Yeah, I’m coming out

Lost in Boston

Drinking rum and chocolate

A hundred thousand blinking lights

Are making me exhausted
