There's a time only truth buys
|
In the early small hours of the morning
|
When you brushed the sleep from my eyes
|
And told me stories
|
Electricity
|
The day scrapes the sidewalk
|
Sugar turns to salt
|
Talk is cheap
|
A half-remembered glance from a dirty window
|
I want to take a little walk
|
In the cool night air and see
|
Which way the wind blows
|
|
There's another side to the city
|
A life within a life unknown
|
Like blood in the veins of a body it flows
|
Down the alley nobody knows
|
Checkpoint charlie
|
Eyes from a garbage can
|
Reveal the man
|
Is on his toes
|
I want to take a little walk
|
In the cool night air and see
|
Which way the wind blows
|
|
I want to take a little walk
|
In the cool night air and see
|
Which way the wind blows
|
|
She gives a sky feeling to the night
|
Waiting 'til you weaken for a moment
|
She'll buy the diamonds
|
If you'll buy the pearls
|
For the moment
|
Electricity
|
The night lights a candle
|
Love turns to fire
|
I want to take a little walk
|
In the cool night air and see
|
Which way the wind blows
|
|
There's another time to the city
|
A time within a time undone
|
You can untie a knot
|
You can break a deal
|
You can sell what you bought
|
A cut will heal
|
A bone will mend
|
A road will bend
|
Street light blinding
|
Headlight shining
|
Take a little walk
|
In the cool night air and see
|
Which way the wind blows
|
|
