Meanstreets

(album: Misdemeanor - 1985)

There's a heartbeat in the city
Caught in the rush there's no pity
On the edge of day
Late night traffic, late to go home
I'm slipping out into the twilight zone
I'm on the edge of day

In a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whispering promises they can't keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away

Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
It's in every move I make

With all the heat now, and all the stories
Heroes wrestle for the chance of glory
On the edge of day
Midnight cowboys make the sweep
There's nothing sacred on the street
We're on the edge again

In a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whispering promises they can't keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away

Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
It's in every move I make

When the lights go down you know life comes easy
It's easy baby
In the wild West End you can find
A friend tonight
Oh tonight
Got to keep this heart inspired

In a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whispering promises they can't keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away

Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
It's in every move I make

Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the mean streets, feel my heartbeat
It's in every move I make
