Free Darling
Oh he set you free girl now
He cut the strings that held your wings from flying to a strobe light moon
What's it gonna be girl now
Flower scenes and magazines that tell you what's in style for June
Dance in dark cafés
Fill up your ashtrays
It's so nice to be free, you'll see
Oh it feels so good to be so on the go, so art nouveau
With no one caring what you do
Buy a new dress every day
Buy antique chairs or cut your hair
Do anything that pleases you
Fly down south again
Good friends will meet the plane
It's so nice to be free, you'll see
Come back with a winter tan to hang around, you're back in town
But no one knows you went away
Said he should look cold and gray
You fight for cabs, you push and grab him
You fall back into the city wings
Locks and clocks and tools
TV and rent who's wrong
It's so nice to be free, you'll see
I came to the city
He cut the strings that held your wings from flying to a strobe light moon
What's it gonna be girl now
Flower scenes and magazines that tell you what's in style for June
Dance in dark cafés
Fill up your ashtrays
It's so nice to be free, you'll see
Oh it feels so good to be so on the go, so art nouveau
With no one caring what you do
Buy a new dress every day
Buy antique chairs or cut your hair
Do anything that pleases you
Fly down south again
Good friends will meet the plane
It's so nice to be free, you'll see
Come back with a winter tan to hang around, you're back in town
But no one knows you went away
Said he should look cold and gray
You fight for cabs, you push and grab him
You fall back into the city wings
Locks and clocks and tools
TV and rent who's wrong
It's so nice to be free, you'll see
I came to the city
