Backstreets |
One soft infested summer |
Me and Terry became friends |
Trying in vain to breathe |
The fire we born in Catching rides to the outskirts |
Tying faith between our teeth |
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house |
Getting wasted in the heat |
And hiding on the backstreets |
Hiding on the backstreets |
With a love so hard and filled with defeat |
Running for our lives at night on them backstreets |
Slow dancing in the dark |
On the beach at Stocktons Wing |
Where desperate lovers park |
We sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings |
Huddled in our cars |
Waiting for the bells that ring |
In the deep heart of the night |
We let lose of everything |
To go running on the backstreets |
Running on the backstreets |
Terry you swore wed live forever |
Taking it on them backstreets together |
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag |
Where famous dancers scraped the tears |
Up off the street dressed down in rags |
Running into the darkness |
Some hurt bad some really dying |
At night sometimes it seemed |
You could hear the whole damn city crying |
Blame it on the lies that killed us Blame it on the truth that ran us down |
You can blame it all on me Terry |
It dont matter to me now |
When the breakdown hit at midnight |
There was nothing left to say |
But I hated him |
And I hated you when you went away |
Laying here in the dark |
Youre like an angel on my chest |
Just another tramp of hearts |
Crying tears of faithlessness |
Remember all the movies, Terry |
Wed go see |
Trying to learn to walk like the heroes |
We thought we had to be Well after all this time |
To find were just like all the rest |
Stranded in the park |
And forced to confess |
To hiding on the backstreets |
Hiding on the backstreets |
Where we swore forever friends |
On the backstreets until the end |
Hiding on the backstreets |
Hiding on the backstreets… |
