Out on the city streetsEveryone that I meetAlready knows my nameBut I can’t say the same ’Cuz every day I wakeAnd all the names have been erasedAnd everyone I’ve metFades away into the sunset I can’t recallKnowing you, but knowing meI might be wrongBut it don’t ring a bell to meIt’s been so longSince I …
