Down Desire Avenue

Lyrics

Down Desire Avenue Where all the pilots go Line in a bar when day is through Keeping the world in a place below Tall second rated moviestars Step from their overcolored truth Out through a side door right into Desire Avenue Empty faces, silly walks Coming in from the tight-rope dance Men judging balance above all Looking down on their shaking hands It's coming up it's hard to breathe And I think of you I'm going down but nothing's cheap Down Desire Avenue One bite of cold and one of heat A sip of lust a sip of pain A careless way to cross the street That is the way to play this game Now - is a red-hot piece of coal Thrown right at you This isn't courage anymore Down Desire Avenue
