Out on the Streets Tonight

 

The queen of hearts is selling her soul

Fat Eddie’s just standing there shaking in his shoes

A beggar loses his way in the night

But finds a banquet in the alley, but that’s not news

 

A young voice in the midnight hour

Knows something going on downtown

Sounds like positively 4th Street

Only I’m standing on 49th

 

Chorus:

Out on the streets tonight, hanging on faith and luck

Out on the streets tonight, the wounded march another mile

 

Hot summer moon shining down

Cindy’s stepping out, it’s all over town

She hangs out every night of the week

Look at all the boys perched at her feet

 

Lights another cigarette

Laughs at all his poor boy jokes

They end up down at Ruthy’s stealing lighters

All in a nights work

 

Chorus

 

Smoke filled bars line Paradise Avenue

Down here you need eyes in the back of your head

 

Princess falls asleep dreaming about her prince

And all the fairies to grant her wish

And when the stars fall from the sky

Release her from this life

 

Chorus
