Well the street lights shine
|
Down on Blessing Avenue
|
Lovers they walk by
|
Holdin' hands two by two
|
|
A breeze crosses the porch
|
Bicycle spokes spin 'round
|
Jacket's on, I'm out the door
|
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down
|
|
And the girls in their summer clothes
|
In the cool of the evening light
|
The girls in their summer clothes
|
Pass me by
|
|
Kid's rubber ball smacks
|
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
|
Big bank clock chimes
|
Off go the sleepy front porch lights
|
|
Downtown the store's alive
|
As the evening's underway
|
Things been a little tight
|
But I know they're gonna turn my way
|
|
And the girls in their summer clothes
|
In the cool of the evening light
|
The girls in their summer clothes
|
Pass me by
|
|
Frankie's Diner's
|
Over on the edge of town
|
Neon sign spinnin' round
|
|
Like a cross over the lost and found
|
|
Fluorescent lights
|
Flicker above Bob's Grill
|
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?"
|
And says
|
"penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill"
|
|
She went away
|
She cut me like a knife
|
Had a beautiful thing
|
Maybe you just saved my life
|
|
In just a glance
|
Down here on Magic Street
|
Love's a fool's dance
|
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet
|
|
And the girls in their summer clothes
|
In the cool of the evening light
|
The girls in their summer clothes
|
Pass me by
|
|
And the girls in their summer clothes
|
In the cool of the evening light
|
The girls in their summer clothes
|
Pass me by
|
|
La la la la, la la la la la la la
|
La la la la, la la la la la la la
|
La la la la, la la la la la la la
|
La la la la, la la la la la la la
