1.
Walking as these streets become my church A temple with a thousand different names If you won't let me have you to myself Think I'm just gonna play with someone else It's good to see you holding what you wanted God, that must be something you just figured out Cause you never told me what you needed I keep it in mind to forget you, but I don't know how Only got these windows down till the dark The shouts across the block help me get some sleep I have just who I like inside my bed To let you know this soul aint yours to keep
2.
Hold on my sister Pull up those sheets Don't you dance better up on your feet Stand up my brother Aint no time to sleep There's a rage coming down on the streets And something's got these sirens screaming red But I'm blue for East Broadway Train bound for Bethel Got a matchbook that says Strike a light up for peace, keep the rest It's dark, but this woodland Has colors unsold Guess the seasons believe what they're told Cause something's got these leaves all screaming red But I'm blue for East Broadway

Hopeless to hope I go And then I circle back Running from these thieves They're chasing hard down my own track And I don't know what they want from me Or who they see And just what I've got left for them And me World got my head uptight It's too much to take sometimes The street lights glow every night But the shadows don't stay Lowest to low I'm reaching out for something new I keep up with the times But stay a drifter through and through Don't no one take a thing from me That I don't give Except this little life I put aside To live
5.
So this is where you had to be Heart on a string, tied for all the world to see Praying it won't break I used to wish for happenstance To live and die with real romance God help me if I don't know what that takes Back home, things were so serene With no starting gun, gotta catch up with this dream If it's not too late And time in time will fall upon these towers I've been leaning on But which will be the last one standing straight? Well, someday light will come to reap This midnight veil, so you know we gotta keep Holding brave till then I think I've got these sidewalks down And I love them, though I fear this town Gonna kill the flower child I've never been
