Lyrics
On the Avenue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
