Eddie waited till he finished high school He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo He met a girl out there with a tattoo too The future was wide open. They moved into a place they both could afford He found a nightclub he could work at the door She had a guitar and she taught him some chords The sky was the limit. Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. The papers said Ed always played from the heart He got an agent and a roadie named Bart They made a record and it went in the charts The sky was the limit. His leather jacket had chains that would jingle They both met movie stars, partied and mingled. Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single." The future was wide open. Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue. Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

Well I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went down as I crossed the hill And the town lit up, the world got still I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well the good old days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I've started out, for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there I'm learning to fly around the clouds But what goes up must come down I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing I'm learning to fly around the clouds But what goes up must come down I'm learning to fly I'm learning to fly

All down the street they're standin' in line with white lipstick and one thing on their mind Hey little freak with the lunch pail purse Underneath the paint you're just a little girl Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Painted in a corner and all you wanna do Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job? Sometimes you're so impulsive, you shaved off all your hair You look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Painted in a corner and all you wanna do Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo She disappears at sunrise I wonder where she goes Until the night Comes fallin' down again She shows up with her friends Half alive Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo dancin' at the Zombie Zoo You can make a big impression or GO through life unseen You might wind up restricted and over seventeen It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led Somewhere beyond the pavement you'll find the living dead
