The villains run through the night,
Down the darkened streets of lunar light,
Thats shine as bright as stars to me,
As they make their way back home.
Back down on Cherry Street,
Where the wheels roll and the poets speak,
They come running fast to catch the news,
Before it gets told.
(Chorus)
Are you a poet or a thief?
Just the dust beneath my feet,
All your promises I keep,
Show you mean nothing to me.
Now near the Boardwalk down in the city,
They start fires for the girls, so pretty,
The girls just light their cigarettes,
And blow the fires out.
Let me tell you paradise is a poor man's game
I try to make them listen, but they're all the same,
And if the water's deep, I'll lose my feet,
But I wont fall down again.
(Chorus)
Time's lost for words,
I whisper sweet nothigns as the corners turn,
Did you lie to me?
Now down on Cherry Street,
Still fighting, but as least we fight to breathe,
To keep this iron lung afloat,
In the town we call our home.
(Chorus)
Through the words of last years man,
I'm still doing all I can,
Down on Cherry Street, the lights are shining,
The world is waiting there.
