AVENUES

No the cabs here they can't run down to your house
Sometimes, I sit and wish I were somewhere else
So lets dim the daylights for us sweethearts that we are
Sometimes I find myself still lying in your arms.

All the sweethearts of the world
Are out dancing in the places where me and all my friends
Go to hide our faces.

Avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Something in the air here still keeps me away.

No the cops here they can't take me to your house
I get directions and pretend I was somewhere else
All the sweethearts of the world are out littering the bars
And I am still avenues from anyplace you are.

You know avenues run one way
Streets they run the same
Its gonna take a lot of shit for me
to stay away.
