Going Out
William J. Hall - December 18, 1980

  1 Someone talking
  2 Talking out loud
  3 They say the way that I see it
  4 You live to close to the crown
  5 But there is nowhere to run
  6 Nowhere else to hide
  7 So when the sun goes down
  8 I've got to get outside
  9 I've got to get away
  10 Into the carnival lights
  11 I've got to get out and away
  12 Maybe it ain't right
  13 But I'm going out tonight
 
  14 Somebody
  15 Make some remark
  16 They say the way that I see it
  17 You best stay in after dark
  18 But there is no more direction
  19 Up in the day
  20 So when the sun goes down
  21 And I go out to play
  22 I play the lone wolf
  23 I play the cat-paw dragon
  24 Play it for myself
  25 I play for keeps in the long run
  26 When I get away
  27 Into the carnival lights
  28 I've got to get out and away
  29 Maybe it ain't right
  30 But I'm going out tonight
  31 Say it again
  32 Going out tonight
  33 Again and again
  34 Going out tonight
  35 Shining bright
  36 Going out - I'll take my chances
  37 My chances going out
  38 Tonight
 
  39 Someone talking
  40 I hear what they say
  41 They say the way that I see it
  42 You better live for today
  43 But there is nothing worth doing better in daylight
  44 So when the sun goes down
  45 I live it up for tonight
  46 I do the mad dog
  47 Do the cloak and dagger
  48 From the London fog
  49 To the New York Towers
  50 I've got the lords of light
  51 I've got the angels of darkness
  52 Give me second sight
  53 Mixed around in this blindness
  54 When I get away
  55 Into the carnival lights
  56 I've got to get out and away
  57 Maybe it ain't right
  58 But I'm going out tonight
  59 Say it again
  60 Going out tonight
  61 Again and again and again
  62 Going out my friend
  63 It's the living end
  64 The living end
