You stand in the doorway block up the street
ringing the doorbell just tapping of feet
high yellow hair and a worn brown suit
enter and break the news

now tell me the story give it the time
no need to worry everything's fine
I'll take you away from this name-calling scene
sure you can bring your magazine

calling in there (?) the old bandstand
you and I walking hand in hand
a neon glow shining down on us
don't wait up for us
don't wait up for us

now tell me the story I'll give it the time
you stop looking then you will find
I'll take you away from this name-calling scene
just bring your magazine

calling in there the old bandstand
you and I walking hand in hand
a neon glow shining down on us
don't wait up for us
don't wait up for us

calling in there the old bandstand
you and I walking hand in hand
a neon glow shining down on us
don't wait up for us
don't wait up for us

don't wait up for us
don't wait up for us

don't wait up for us (8x)
