Twenty years to see New York reflected on subway trains
´Bout twenty more I´ll be forty-four, head back to Tampa Bay
I killed a man there, in spite, and when he died, I took his place

Eighteen made you callous to the kisses that you gave
A coarse exchange, a cause for blame, and I stood out in the rain
You killed a man there, and I cried, but the rain masked the hurt behind your face
By the way dear we´re alive, and it hurts ´cause we survived it

Goodbye love, and good luck in life, and goodnight Chicago, die with a smile
You´d have loved her, loved her, but you won´t, you don´t know, no no no no no no
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t wait until I drown to save me from it
Goodnight Chicago, I killed a man to make you love me

If the water´s warm, filling up my head, I take
Another one, Lord knows it´s hard to stay
Sober! When heaven´s in your past and you have hell to pay
Slower, I´m hung over, but I´m sorry that I´m late
Eighteen made you callous to the kisses that you gave
In one more I stood out in the rain

Goodbye love, and good luck in life, and goodnight Chicago, die with a smile
You´d have loved her, loved her, but you won´t, you don´t know, no no no no no no
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t wait until I drown to save me from it

Goodnight Chicago, I killed a man to make you love me

Twenty years to see New York reflected on subway trains
´Bout twenty more I´ll be forty-four, head back to Tampa Bay
I killed a man there, in spite, and when he died, I took his place
But don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t wait until I drown to save me from it
Goodnight Chicago, I killed a man, I killed a man, I
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t shut down on me now, don´t shut down on me
Don´t wait until I drown to make it right

Goodnight Chicago, goodnight Chicago
Goodnight Chicago, goodnight
