Leave It
Yes · Other Songs - Yes
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
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back
No phone can take your place
You know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Two down there you go
McArthur Park in the driving snow
Uptown they're digging it out
Better lay your claim
Get home you're not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Ah leave it
Ah 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
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Leave it
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make
Real
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown they're giving away
But she never came back
No phone can take your place
You know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Two down there you go
McArthur Park in the driving snow
Uptown they're digging it out
Better lay your claim
Get home you're not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Ah leave it
Ah 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
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
One down one to go
Another town and one more show
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
