My name is Vernon James and I live to the south of town
   I work my window watching the women go round and round
   Some people come here for love
   Some people come for fantasy
   When two in the morning comes round
   My baby comes around for me
  
   Someone come, come my someone
   Take the clouds from my eyes, my one
   I know that sometime soon
   One day we'll walk in the sun
  
   I'm taking tickets and watching
   the men always looking down
   Sometimes I feel like an animal in
   the zoo staring out
   No one looks me in the eye
   They save it for the girls inside
   I don't care much what they see
   I know she saves it all for me
  
   Someone come, come my someone
   Take the clouds from my eyes, my one
   I know that sometime soon
   One day we'll walk in the sun
  
   Some people come here for love
   Some come for curiosity
   I know there will be a day
   I know we'll figure out a way
  
   Someone come, come my someone
   Take the clouds from my eyes, my one
   I know that sometime soon
   One day we'll walk in the sun
