For the duration of this game I will be doing Last Word Wednesday. Each Wednesday the titles will share a common word, and it will be the last word in the title.
1. Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
2. But at night, it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
3. You're out of your room and down on the street
You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat
The traffic roars, the sirens scream
Look at the faces, it's just like a dream
4. Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see
Tell me, who you're gonna believe?
5. I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud
6. Hey man, my school day's insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Hey man, well she's a total blam-blam
7. His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet, he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe, she hardly gets a penny
8. I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
