[00:00.00]
[00:10.83]I would love to be the lucky one on Chill Avenue
[00:15.48]Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue
[00:18.50]But beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
[00:21.52]I'm lookin' back for home and I can see the lights
[00:24.71]I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way
[00:27.66]From Camden Town station on to 44th and 8th
[00:30.72]Not many make it this far, many say we're great
[00:33.99]But just like them we walk on, we can't escape our fate
[00:37.28]Can't you hear the sighin'
[00:43.38]Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
[00:46.32]Both say they needed somethin' new
[00:48.62]
[00:49.26]So I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[00:52.44]I burn money at the lights of the sign
[00:55.19]The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
[01:01.98]I'm standing at the Gates of the East
[01:04.93]I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
[01:07.62]The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
[01:11.90]
[01:14.73]The immigrants and remnants of all the glory years
[01:18.02]Are clustered 'round the bar again for another round of beers
[01:21.05]Little Richard's in the kitchen playin' spoons and plates
[01:24.12]He's tellin' the waitress he's great
[01:27.04]Ah say I know somewhere back 'n' forth in time
[01:30.57]Out on the dust bowls, deep in the roulette mine
[01:33.42]Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
[01:36.61]There's a move into the future for the USA
[01:42.09]I hear them cryin'
[01:46.31]Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
[01:49.14]Both said they needed something new
[01:51.06]
[01:52.11]So I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[01:55.21]I burn money at the lights of the sign
[01:58.02]The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
[02:05.09]I'm standing at the Gates of the East
[02:07.95]I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
[02:11.00]The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
[02:15.81]
[02:30.56]Standing at the Gates of the West
[02:36.21]In the shadow again
[02:43.05]I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[02:49.06]In the shadow again
[02:55.73]I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[03:01.70]In the shadow again
[03:11.15]In the shadow again
[03:15.71]
