Devil’s Sidewalk (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When the red light shines On the streets of hate Where the devil dines Who knows what he ate? [Verse 2] "It's a simple thing Trying to stay afloat" The captain said Without his boat [Verse 3] Some things are getting better Other things a little worse It's a situation Much like a curse [Verse 4] It's the devil's sidewalk It's the devil's door "I try to avoid it" Waid the captain of the shore [Verse 5] There's a garden growing And a million weeds With no way of knowing Who has done which deed [Verse 6] "That's an honest tale" Said the helmsman to the mate About a woman delicious And a matter of fate [Verse 7] Big wheel keep rollin' Down on me One thing I can tell you Is you got to be free [Verse 8] John Lennon said that And I believe in love And I believe in action When push comes to shove [Verse 9] "Who cares what you believe?" Said the captain amazed "If you stood in my shoes Your eyes would be glazed" [Verse 10] So my fair damsel Won't you take your leave? Are you headed for the country? Where you wear the green sleeve [Verse 11] And the children laugh And the old folks sing And the church bells toll For a miraculous thing [Verse 12] Where the big red furnace Just glows and glows Where the heart beats Where the big wheel rolls
