Pretty rows of houses
With lots of pretty lights
Pretty people having five and dime affairs
With the pretty no names of a lonely night
Pretty cars in driveways
With pretty double-car garage
Pretty storefronts selling cocaine candy
To pretty people in the Land of Oz
Chorus
Can’t find love, you can’t find love
No you can’t find love, anymore
Can’t find love, you can’t find love
No you can’t feel love, anymore
Look at all the pretty steel towers
With lots of pretty glass
Pretty teams making fame and fortune
For pretty priests at the Wall Street mass
Chorus
Pretty rows of houses
With lots of pretty lights
Chorus
