Rumble of the Grey Pavement |
||
| 1 | Blood on the sidewalk | |
| 2 | Blues in the street | |
| 3 | Moon waxing bitter | |
| 4 | And the new year looking sweet | |
| 5 | With my ear to the asphalt | |
| 6 | And my eye on the tenement | |
| 7 | I can hear her whispers | |
| 8 | In the rumble of the grey pavement | |
| 9 | She says, "I won't do no harm to you | |
| 10 |
"I just want someone to talk to." |
|
| 11 | She's a jaded lady | |
| 12 | But I love her so | |
| 13 | You can feel her pulse beats | |
| 14 | Where the red light stops and the green lights go | |
| 15 | With her skirts in the water | |
| 16 | Torch-bearer clutching the sacrament | |
| 17 | There's a soulful lullaby | |
| 18 | In the rumble of the grey pavement | |
| 19 | She says, "I won't do no harm to you | |
| 20 |
"I just want someone to talk to. |
|
| 21 | "Someone to cry to | |
| 22 | "Someone to care | |
| 23 | "And wash the smell of traffic | |
| 24 | "From my hair - | |
| 25 | "Someone to make love to me | |
| 26 | "Take me home and make love to me | |
| 27 |
"But I look around and see nobody there. |
|
| 28 |
"Take me, take me, take me, take me" |
|
| 29 | She's a liberated woman | |
| 30 | And a ward of the state | |
| 31 | She's a saint and a liar | |
| 32 | She's a little kinky but she swears that she's going straight | |
| 33 | She's the girl in the white lace dress | |
| 34 | Working just a little harder to pay the rent | |
| 35 | Pay it up for the landlord | |
| 36 | You've got to pay it up for the rumble of the grey pavement | |
| 37 | She says, "I won't do no harm to you | |
| 38 |
"I just want someone to talk to. |
|
| 39 | "Someone to cry to | |
| 40 | "Someone to care | |
| 41 | "And wash the smell of traffic | |
| 42 | "From my hair - | |
| 43 | "Someone to make love to me | |
| 44 | "Take me home and make love to me | |
| 45 |
"But I look around and see nobody there. |
|
| 46 | "Are you there, Billy? | |
| 47 | "Are you there? | |
| 48 | "You've got to tell me | |
| 49 |
"Just to let me know you're there." |
