Down Desire Avenue
|
where all the pilots go
|
Line in a bar when day is thru
|
keeping the world in a place below
|
|
Tall second rated moviestars
|
step from their overcoloured truth
|
out thru a side door right into
|
Desire Avenue
|
|
Empty faces, silly walks
|
Coming in from the tight-rope dance
|
Men judging balance above all
|
looking down on their shaking hands
|
|
It's coming up it's hard to breathe
|
and I think of you
|
I'm going down but nothing's cheap
|
down Desire Avenue
|
|
One bite of cold and one of heat
|
A sip of lust a sip of pain
|
A careless way to cross the street
|
that is the way to play this game
|
|
Now - is a red-hot piece of coal
|
thrown right at you
|
This isn't courage anymore
