Poison Street

We were singing in the rain
Like we invented singing
There's a light in the sky
From a million street lights
And we danced all the steps
From all those old time movies
Rolling down the hill
With laughint hearts
In Poison Street the guard the gates
With bitter, bitter tongues
In Poison Street we'll laugh out load
Till the shadow go melt away
And I love you now
Like I love you always ever
Kissing in the dark
Like a couple of Kids
You gave me life
You gave me light and thunder
Like a blind man sees
For the very first time
In Poison Street we'll go cracking
Through the walls that history made for us
In Poison Street we'll spring the traps
And race away
So just a Kick
For this dark damned city of ours
And a kiss
Yeah a kiss for you
And just a drink
A toast to the days to come
Now Poison Street won't break us anymore
We were singing in the rain
Like we wrote that song
There's a light in the sky
From the streetlights all around
You gave me life
You gave me light and thunder
Like a man makes fire
For the very first time
In Poison Street...
