Yeah, uh-huh
I was walking down the street the other day
A woman stopped me
She said, why is it you look so down in the mouth?
And I told her
This is a burnt out town
It's full of dirty looks
The ashes are mainstream
And the mayor is cooking the books
I even like those friends
I turn them into crooks
Yeah this is the burnt out town
You wear the same clothes
They dancing on the glass ceilings
While the filthy money flows
Yes and here I am, stealing gas
With a garden hose
Yeah, take that, honey!
This is the burnt out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
The truth indecent when exposed
Yeah, it's the burnt out town
It's going down but no one knows
Yeah, it's the burnt out town
Ain't there but getting close, aw

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
