Looking out upon this endless day
Just got better now I must get well
Sometimes I think I'll never see
A whole wide world in front of me
There's always one more soul to sell
Another night lays it's hands on me
Don't remember how it used to be
It's not forever but it feels just like the end
And another day is turning blue
Down on Red Light Avenue
It's 6 o'clock & I can't even sleep
There's a fire burning in my head
You better call somebody quick
A little dose will do the trick
I'm waiting but this line is dead
Another child giving up her sweets
The corridors and the dirty streets
It's not forever but it feels just like the end
And another day is turning blue
Down on Red Light Avenue
Not alot of time to have to wonder
Not alot of time to have to cry
And now when you feel your going under
Not alot of time to wonder why
Out where the angels come to lose their wings
My heart is breaking like a stone
I wanna call off all the bets
It's not as good as it ever gets
It's alaways such a long way home
Hold me one more time again
Sorrow is the cruelest friend
It's not forever but it feels just like the end
And another day is turning blue
Down on Red Light Avenue ~ x 3
