I'd like to go up state and I'd like to go up the river
I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place left to go
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place left to go
Well I know it'll be boring and I will come home alone
but I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place else to go
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
Well I used to wake up in the backbury??? at 5 o'clock
and all the stores were closed and I had no place to go
so I couldn't stand to stay in my room,
I couldn't stand to stay alone
I'm gonna walk up the street
I have no else to go
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
all right
well I'm not gonna go to the dating bar
it's the only place I know
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
right, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
all right
Well, see Cambridge in the nightime
I can't stand to stay alone
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
well I used to go down to bus stations
used to hang around and fall asleep alone
(terrible)
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
all right, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
all right
Well Cambridge can be terrible in the wintertime alone
and New York is no better
you just feel at the centre of it all
well I used to go down to bat??? bay and freeze alone
I would walk up the street I had no place else to go ???
I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay in my room
no more gonna walk up the street I have no place else to go
way down, time for a change of plan, way down, change of plans, change of strategy
see I used to walk up the street cause I hated to stay alone
but maybe I'll read a book, maybe I'll stay at home
Well lonliness won't get any better
at the zoom zoom when it's so cold, no
I'm gonna stay in my room I have no place else to go
that's right, I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stay in my room
I'm gonna stay in my room I have no place else to go

all right
hey, I'd like to go up state and I'd like to go up the river, now
well, I'm gonna walk up the Bartow??? street cause I have no place left to go
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place left to go
yeah, oh yeah
Well I used to wake up in the back bay??? when I was 17 years old
I was lonley and scared at 5 o'clock am
and I would wake up on Sunday morning
and I wouldn't see any friends, none of them
well perhaps I could go to the bus station and fall asleep
or sit around until those stores are open
but the wintertime was so cold in the Boston streets
and I had no place else to go
you see I have a sore throat???
and my hands were always cold from walking alone
and I'd walk up the Boston streets
cause I have no place left to go
well, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place else to go
all right
now I'm ??? this
now listen
well
well I have a sore throat
and my hands are cold from walking alone
but I'm gonna walk up the street
cause I have no place else to go
well it's 0 degrees and the bleak colours on the backbay
my hands are cold from this bitterness and lonliness
so I'm gonna walk up the Boston street and be a ???
and I have no place else to go
????
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place else to go
one more time
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk up the street
I'm gonna walk up the street cause I have no place else to go
