You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight

And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's soothing
Heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town

Don't play it down
When you don't have the power to hold it
Don't play the clown
If the joke gets no laugh when you've told it

Now you found the secret code I use
To wash away my lonely blues
So I can't deny or lie 'cause you're
The only one to make me fly

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day

Is this We've only just begun?
(I'm so rubbish at this game now, it's probably not)))
