Red Light Avenue

(альбом: The Whiff Of Bedlam - 1994)

Looking out upon this endless day
Just got better now I must get well
Sometimes I think I'll never see
A whole wide world in front of me
There's always one more soul to sell

Another night lays its hands on me
Don't remember how it used to be
It's not forever but it feels just like the end

And another day is turning blue
Down on Red Light Avenue

It's 6 o'clock & I can't even sleep
There's a fire burning in my head
You better call somebody quick
A little dose will do the trick
I'm waiting but this line is dead

Another child giving up her sweets
The corridors and the dirty streets
It's not forever but it feels just like the end

And another day is turning blue
Down on Red Light Avenue

Not a lot of time to have to wonder
Not a lot of time to have to cry
And now when you feel you're going under
Not a lot of time to wonder why

Out where the angels come to lose their wings
My heart is breaking like a stone
I wanna call off all the bets
It's not as good as it ever gets
It's always such a long way home

Hold me one more time again
Sorrow is the cruelest friend
It's not forever but it feels just like the end

And another day is turning blue
Down on Red Light Avenue
