Come on mamma, put your good dress on

The night is young and we're goin' downtown

Where faces come and faces go

It ain't very far you know

Come on mamma, is it really that hard

To lose yourself right where you are

Till your money's gone and your mind is bent

You couldn't say where midnight went

Chorus:

Winding pathways, blind-sided fools

How could you let them get the best of you

Stumblin' footfalls, someone calls your name

Been calling you, stay just the same, just the same

Come on mamma, let it fade away

For good this time and gone we'll stay

All the scenes are gonna pass on by

I swear we'll leave it all behind

[ Chorus ]
