Lyrics

Words and music by
Roddy Frame
Everybody's walking through the city all alone
But no one talks about it
I am just a simple, unassuming kind of man
So neither do
I But I walk like the rest and try to do my best '
Til I'm beaten, 'til
I'm blue And it shines like the sun inside of everyone
Like the neon that
I see in the rain
On the avenue
Everybody's dreaming 'bout a city in the sky
Where we can live without love
I am just a simple, unassuming kind of guy
So so do I
But to feed you from a shell, fill you up and wish you
Well. That's my reason, it's what
I do And it shines in the guise of
Egyptian sparkling eyes
In the basement of a hotel
Paradise On the avenue
And if the hotel burns down
We'd probably drown 'neath the firemens' hoses
Holy Moses!
I would still believe that paradise
Was there with you
Never blue
Stuck like glue
On the avenue
