Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall
|
And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall
|
Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat
|
Beneath the stars on the street
|
Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand
|
Velvet aces they case the promised land
|
Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands
|
Oh, tryin' to catch a ride
|
|
Tonight we're lovers in the cold
|
Running past the graveyards in the snow
|
Walking in the street with nowhere to go
|
And it's no, no, no
|
|
Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store
|
He pulls away just as Billy runs out the door
|
Oh and Billy won't run anymore, no, no, no
|
|
Oh baby I can't lay the stars at your feet
|
Oh but I think we could take it all, just you and me
|
Oh come on, you'll see, there's a lot of room
|
For you baby, in this front seat
|
|
Tonight we're lovers on that road (in the snow)
|
Running past the graveyards in the snow
|
Walking in the street with nowhere to go
|
And it's oh, oh, oh
|
