I ain't no wide eyed rebel
Oh, but I ain't no preacher's son
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
And now I see the trouble and all the loving that I've done

And the world ain't no harder than it's ever been
So much superstition and so much worry in my heart
I need a new religion it's time to make a brand new start
And the world ain't no easier than it's ever been
Remember when we were in California

Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend
We were so much happier then
Now we're back in New York City

And no one knows where time goes
It's only shadows that she shows
You know the moon is stunning
And now the clocks are running
And the world ain't no harder than it's every been

Looking got for love in the lies of a lonely friend
I ain't no wide eyed rebel
But I ain't no preacher's son
