lyrics

Sadly yes I know
just where to go, where to go
Sadly yes, we can all three see
the bright writing on the marquee
Sadly no, I don't want to
Sadly no, I don't want her,
I want you

Past your shoulder & porchlight lies
the bright sea of Illinois.
Floating pleasure palaces
light the sky beyond the buoys
Sadly no I don't want to go
Sadly no I don't know how to say no

Sadly every sweet thing ends
in the end, in the end
Sadly yes, it's a cold world
& favors cold men
Sadly no we can't be still be friends
Sadly I'll never kiss you again
