Sing a song of sad young men Glasses full of rhy Often news is bad again Kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men Sitting in the dark Knowing neon nights 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
Oh, the sad young men chocking on their youth
Trying to be brave running from the truth
Autumn turns the leaves to gold Slowly dies the heart Sad young men are growing old That's the cruelest part
All the sad youn men seek a certain smile someone they can hold for a little while Tired little girl does the best she can trying to be gay for a sad young man
While a grimy moon watches from above All the sad young man play at making love Misbegotten moon, shine for sad young men Let your gently light guide them home again
