[Intro]
I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make
Real
[Verse 1]
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back
[Verse 2]
No phone can take your place
You know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings
[Chorus 1]
Ah... leave it
Ah... leave it
[Verse 3]
Two down there you go
MacArthur Park in the driving snow
Uptown they're digging it out
Better lay your claim
[Verse 4]
Get home you're not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day
[Chorus 1]
Ah... leave it
Ah... leave it
(Do do do...)
[Chorus 2]
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
[Bridge]
I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make
Real
[Chorus 1]
Ah... leave it
Ah... leave it
[Chorus 2]
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
[Outro]
(Ah...)
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
(...leave it)
(Ah...)
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Leave it!
I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make
Real
[Verse 1]
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back
[Verse 2]
No phone can take your place
You know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings
[Chorus 1]
Ah... leave it
Ah... leave it
[Verse 3]
Two down there you go
MacArthur Park in the driving snow
Uptown they're digging it out
Better lay your claim
[Verse 4]
Get home you're not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day
[Chorus 1]
Ah... leave it
Ah... leave it
(Do do do...)
[Chorus 2]
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
[Bridge]
I can feel no sense of measure

(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
(...leave it) Hello hello heaven
(Ah...) Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad

(Ah...)
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
(...leave it)
(Ah...)
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Leave it!
