Darker Streets Than Mine

There are ghosts that walk the streets of this town

And a lot of folks have been dying just to keep them around

I ain't lost and i sure as hell ain't found

By the looks of things it might just rain all night

And we'll be stuck here with no bottles just trying to survive

Using fishing wire to build a paper kite

Dodging power lines just fending off the night

So i got up and i got drunk

And then i got down on my luck

Seems ever since you left me i've been swinging

From a tree high above

Where i've been looking down on love

It's been a long time since we talked but i ain't changed

And as much as i ain't changed i'm not the same

So we talked a while and never mentioned our religions

I never told her how her god has got me down

How the word just ain't been something that i've found

By the looks of things it might just rain all night

And if we're stuck here with no bottles

Then we might as well get high

Using razor blades to cut out both our eyes

So when the morning comes we still won't see the light

So i got up and i got drunk

And then i got down on my luck

Seems ever since you left me i've been swinging

From a tree high above

Where i've been looking down on love

It's been a long time since we talked but i ain't changed

And as much as i ain't changed i'm not the same
