An empty street, a quiet smile
|
Without steady feet
|
You know the reckless kind
|
Keep coming, coming back
|
To the same old place
|
With that wild eyed stare
|
Up in your face
|
|
Lay me down, let me down
|
In a big old town
|
Lay me down, let me down
|
In a big old town
|
|
He must have lost his soul
|
When he found the rent
|
He wrestles with control
|
Still hasn't pinned it yet
|
Once in , once in a while
|
Loose that cigarette
|
There's always some strange smile
|
Underneath his breath
|
|
Lay me down, let me down...
|
|
... passion's fist against a wall
|
The crush of a kiss, the rise and fall
|
Take me there, take me there
|
To that wounded sound
|
It's just love's despair
|
Gone and hit the ground
|
|
Lay me down,, let me down
|
In a big old town... in a big old town...
|
