Lovers In The Street

It's a town like any other

This city's gone mad

I think i had about enough of this shit i can stand

It's amazing dear molly

You can even feel the force

As it whispers from a higher ground

And laps a distant shore

But it whistles in the alleyway

Catch me if you can

Kneels at the feet

Of the motorcycle man

I know it's out my window

Blowing through the shades of disbelief

Cause i can see it in the faces of the

Lovers in the street

With them botticelli eyes

She asks me where i've gone

Has the coughing of these old heat pipes

Drowned out the magic in your song

All the truth ya paint seems to tumble with time

Like a self-indulgent acrobat

That can only land on a dime

Then my reflection in her pools so dark

Reminds me who i am

And i kneel at the feet of the motorcycle man

I sing goodbye joe dimaggio

And quietly take my seat

With all the sad-eyed dreamers

And the lovers in the street

Well them mission bells they're calling

Reminding me that love is blind

How many miles must a man go crawling

Before he sees the ground where he lies

So i let it fall to a pen and drum

Hammer hand in hand

Kneel at the feet of the motorcycle man

Bury inhibitions in waves of rabid conceit

And roll through the alley like a lover in the street
