Said it's wrong but you know that
The look on his face means he'll be back again
(so see you later)
Saturday on the night train,
With uptown boys who rail cocaine downtown
Keep her waiting

But it's a long time and you're not home
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone
Don't you know you can come home?

You don't feel, but you look fine
No dial tone on the main line (say)
Laughing out to no one's joke
Looking 'round but it's remote,
You won't see no one you know

But it's a long time and you're not home
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone
Don't you know you can come home?

Running, wait, don't you look 'round
Running, running, running east bound, downtown
Got nothing for you
Shelter is waiting for ya!
I'm still waiting for ya to come home

But it's a long time and you're not home
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone
Don't you know that you can come home
Shelter!
