Socializing with the whino few
Saint Dominic's preview
You've got your pen and notebook ready
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
That's the way it all should happen
Saint Dominic's preview
And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty shells
I think it's about time, time for us to begin
Saint Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview
Hidin' behind closed doorways
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
All the orange boxes are scattered
But they're flying too high to see my point of view
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
'Cos this town, they bit off more than they can chew
Out on the street, freedom marching
Right about now your face should wear a smile
Not to feel anyone else's pain

Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame
And every strain on every brain and every eye [unverified]
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
And I hear blue strains of no regredior
And we're over in a 52nd Street apartment
And everybody feels so determined
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

The record company has paid out for the wine
Storey block, with you my friend
And it's a long way to Buffalo
We get to Safeway's supermarket in the rain
See them freedom marching
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
Meanwhile back in San Francisco
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
As we sit upon this jagged
And the restaurant tables are completely covered
You know that no one's making no commitments
It's a long way to Belfast city too
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in
To anybody but themselves
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
And for every cross-cuttin' country corner
