Between the Sidewalk and the Busy Street

The town is eaten by hungry cars And the all-night-people crowd the bars Tell them all - they can have my seat Between the sidewalk - and the busy street The city lights point your forward path Through the wild party and the aftermath The sign on the wall is bittersweet Between the sidewalk - and the shining street The town is fading in the pale blue light Young girls cry and the young boys fight A child is pointing down the street somewhere But noone knows where to go from here You found a button and you like to push You pour your beer on the burning bush The street gets hotter and you burn your feet Between the sidewalk - and the busy street The drunkards dance and the music's wild Songs of hate and a screeming child Loud and clear you can feel the beat Between the sidewalk - and the dying street
