Blind Alley |
Lyricssidewalks splinterwith the weight of a million lives glass glitters sharp as knives and sittin beside me an empty bottle cries to be filled still sweatin wet lips hot breath smell death in blind alley scarecrows meet sightless stares in the street rotten socks in crumpled heaps an boxes of old soot dirty sheets an books torn tattered flutter meet scumbags in the gutter an bums mutter filth in blind alley (blind alley) come on down (blind alley) if you wanna mess around (blind alley) i know you can talk the talk (blind alley) but can you walk the walk in blind alley stretchin fingers grope air an hope nothing's there one swollen eye darts sharp in the dark no room here but fear an no heart beats near skies never clear no nothin can pierce blind alley (blind alley) come on down (blind alley) if you wanna mess around (blind alley) i know you can talk the talk (blind alley) but can you walk the walk in blind alley everybody's got to find a place to die it's a one-way trip and you got no headlights you can take my way or you can take the funky highway wipe your eyes there ain't no free pass you gotta pay if you wanna go first class it's a bitch but you gotta decide so just sit back and enjoy the ride i seen a lot of good men headin downtown with a pocket full of cash and a few rounds they knew the odds but they had to take a crack a lot of good men went down and they never came back (blind alley) come on down (blind alley) if you wanna mess around (blind alley) i know you can talk the talk (blind alley) but can you walk the walk in blind alley cheap wine dribbles through cracks in torn faces and the subway races to the end of the line empty spaces combine with endless time and the putrid air swims with anger and despair running sores tangled hair empty stares going nowhere but down in blind alley (blind alley) come on down (blind alley) if you wanna mess around (blind alley) i know you can talk the talk (blind alley) but can you walk the walk in blind alley |
