| [00:25.09] |
Shadows come creepin' down the alleys, |
| [00:30.66] |
Lonesome lines the boulevard |
| [00:32.34] |
|
| [00:38.53] |
Neon flickers to the rhythm of the night, |
| [00:42.28] |
|
| [00:44.47] |
But this evenin', sleep is coming hard |
| [00:48.59] |
|
| [00:53.59] |
Down the concrete hallways in this part of town |
| [00:57.28] |
|
| [01:01.15] |
You can hear the young hearts drowning in thirst for life |
| [01:04.86] |
|
| [01:08.92] |
The back streets full of mystery, people |
| [01:11.61] |
|
| [01:12.73] |
Frozen in their dreams |
| [01:13.92] |
|
| [01:14.86] |
Too little mercy, too little love, |
| [01:17.36] |
|
| [01:19.36] |
Too much night, it's too much tonight |
| [01:22.04] |
|
| [01:23.11] |
Chorus: |
| [01:23.92] |
The eastern avenue runs level with the river |
| [01:28.61] |
|
| [01:30.42] |
In between lies the freight yard of boxcar blues |
| [01:34.61] |
|
| [01:38.42] |
Eastern avenue railway, come on, come on and deliver |
| [01:44.29] |
|
| [01:45.36] |
This load of tears and this pair of walking shoes |
| [01:49.36] |
|
| [01:52.80] |
Boy's got the eastern avenue river railway blues |
| [01:57.67] |
|
| [02:14.48] |
Trapped between him and the city, |
| [02:16.99] |
|
| [02:22.11] |
He packed a bag and took one south bound over the line |
| [02:25.86] |
|
| [02:29.86] |
Trapped between him and the pity, he suffers for those unfaithful times |
| [02:39.44] |
|
| [02:45.69] |
Well, eastbound river railway runs swift and hard |
| [02:49.25] |
|
| [02:52.88] |
He swears tonight he's gonna take that ride |
| [03:01.94] |
Jerk a cold steel freight train right down the boulevard |
| [03:07.38] |
He ain't gonna stop 'til all the loneliness collides |
| [03:13.32] |
|
| [03:14.44] |
'Cause it's too much tonight |
