I would love to be the lucky one on |
|
Chill Avenue |
|
Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue |
|
But then you see the losers as they turn in for the night |
|
I'm looking back for home and |
|
I can see the lights |
|
I should be jumpin' shoutin' that |
|
I made it all this way |
|
From Camden |
|
Town Station to 44th and 8th |
|
Not many make it this far and many say we're great |
|
But just like them we walk on, we can't escape our fate |
|
Can't you hear the sighing? |
|
East side |
|
Jimmy and |
|
South side |
|
SueBoth say they needed something new |
|
So I'm standing at the |
|
Gates of the |
|
WestI burn money at the lights of the sign |
|
The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime |
|
I'm standing at the |
|
Gates of the |
|
EastI take my pulse and the pulse of my friend |
|
The city casts a shadow, will |
|
I see you again? |
|
The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years |
|
Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers |
|
Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates |
|
He's telling the waitress he's great |
|
Ah, say I know somewhere back and forth in time |
|
Out on the dust bowls, deep in the roulette mine |
|
Or in the ghetto cellar only yesterday |
|
There's a move into the future for |
|
USAI hear them crying |

WestIn the shadow again |

I'm standing at the gates of the |

WestIn the shadow again |

I'm standing at the gates of the |

WestIn the shadow again |
|
In the shadow again |
