Sing a song of sad young man
   Glasses full of rye
   All the news is bad again so
   Kiss your dreams goodbye
  
   All the sad young men
   Sitting in the bars
   Knowing neon nights
   Missing all the stars
  
   All the sad young men
   Drifting through the town
   Drinking up the night
   Trying not to drown
  
   All the sad young men
   Singing in the cold
   Trying to forget
   That they're growing old
  
   All the sad young men
   Choking on their worth
   Trying to be brave
   Running from the truth
  
   Autumm turns the leaves to gold
   Slowly dies the heart
   Sad young men are growing old
   That's the cruelest part
  
   All the sad young men
   Seek a certain smile
   Someone they can hold for a little while
   Tired little girl does the best she can
   Trying to be gay for her sad young man
  
   While the grimy moon
   Watches from above
   All the sad young men
   Play of making love
  
   Misbegotten moon
   Shine for sad young men
   Let your gentle light
   Guide them home tonight
   All the sad young men
