One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends |
| [01:23.47] |
Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in |
| [01:29.19] |
Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth |
| [01:34.67] |
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat |
| [01:42.25] |
And hiding on the backstreets, |
| [01:47.77] |
Hiding on the backstreets |
| [01:52.42] |
With a love so hard and filled with defeat |
| [01:57.75] |
Running for our lives at night on them backstreets |
| [02:12.34] |
Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton*s Wing |
| [02:17.92] |
Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings |
| [02:23.79] |
Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring |
| [02:29.27] |
In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything |
| [02:34.71] |
To go running on the backstreets, |
| [02:41.82] |
running on the backstreets |
| [02:46.51] |
Terry We swore we*d live forever |
| [02:52.19] |
On the backstreets we take it together |
| [03:07.59] |
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag |
| [03:11.48] |
Where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags |
| [03:17.66] |
Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying |
| [03:22.94] |
At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying |
| [03:28.77] |
Blame it on the lies that killed us |
| [03:31.61] |
Blame it on the truth that ran us down |
| [03:34.99] |
You can blame it all on me Terry it don*t matter to me now |
| [03:40.43] |
When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say |
| [03:46.00] |
But I hated him and I hated you when you went away |
| [04:26.93] |
Laying here in the dark you*re like an angel on my chest |
| [04:32.01] |
Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness |
| [04:37.79] |
Remember all the movies, Terry, we*d go see |
| [04:42.82] |
Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be |
| [04:49.40] |
And after all this time to find we*re just like all the rest |
| [04:54.67] |
Stranded in the park and forced to confess |
| [05:00.39] |
To hiding on the backstreets, |
| [05:07.22] |
Hiding on the backstreets |
| [05:12.01] |
We swore forever friends |
| [05:17.68] |
on the backstreets until the end |
