I wish that I knew you
That you weren't made up
I hear you flogging your voice
I see the way that you strut
(Downtown)
Down Neptune Avenue
Show me around
Tell me your story
'Cause I'm a history hound
Yeah, I wish that I knew you
Not a sketch in my book
I see the lines in your face
Your hard-boiled look
(Downtown)
Down Neptune Avenue
Yeah, show me around
Tell me your story
'Cause I'm a history hound
Become more than a character
On the page
Description and dialogue
That I say
Oh-ho
I wish you were real
I wish you could talk
I wish you could feel
I wish you could walk me
(Downtown)
Down Neptune Avenue
Show me the town
Tell every story
To this history hound
Whatever happened to you on this beach?
Whatever happened to you in that bar?
Whatever happened to you on this street?
Whatever happened to your old guitar?
Whatever happened to you on this ride?
Whatever happened to you in that club?
How'd your life ever take such a slide
Where you learned to be someone they loved?
How do, how do you do
How do, how do you do, uh-oh
How do, how do you do
I say how do, it's nice to meet you
How do, how do you do
How do, how do you do, uh-oh
How do, how do you do
How do, yeah, it's nice to meet you
How do, how do you do
How do, how do you do, uh-oh
How do, how do you do
How do, yeah, it's nice to meet you
