My name is Vernon James and I live to the south of town

I work my window watching the women go round and round

Some people come here for love

Some people come for fantasy

When two in the morning comes round

My baby comes around for me



Someone come, come my someone

Take the clouds from my eyes, my one

I know that sometime soon

One day we'll walk in the sun



I'm taking tickets and watching

the men always looking down

Sometimes I feel like an animal in

the zoo staring out

No one looks me in the eye

They save it for the girls inside

I don't care much what they see

I know she saves it all for me



Someone come, come my someone

Take the clouds from my eyes, my one

I know that sometime soon

One day we'll walk in the sun



Some people come here for love

Some come for curiosity

I know there will be a day

I know we'll figure out a way



Someone come, come my someone

Take the clouds from my eyes, my one

I know that sometime soon

One day we'll walk in the sun
