Song title: Wrong side of the street
Wrong side of the street
Turn on the radio, turn off the lights
We'll bring an end, darling, to your endless night
You're on the wrong side of the street
I see your fortune in the lines in your face
I knew you're looking for your saving grace
You're on the wrong side of the street
Fear and desire such a sweet confusion
Well, open your eyes and throw down your illusions
And see you never belonged here with me
You and your poetry and your cool, cool world
You been working hard on that face of a martyr girl
You're on the wrong side of the street
You got the look and you own your world
But here you better check your diamonds and your pearls
You're on the wrong side of the street
You get bored of every day bringing the same
So you go out looking for some strange new games
But pretty soon you don't know the score or what you're looking for
You get bored of every day bringing the same
So you go out looking for some strange new games
But pretty soon you don't know the score or what you came here for
Turn on the radio, turn off the lights
We'll bring an end, darling, to this endless night
Here on the wrong side of the street
Fear and desire such a sweet confusion
Well, open your eyes and throw down your illusions
And see tonight there's no one here but you and me

Wrong side of the street
Girl, on the edge flippin’ off the light
There’ll be an end darling to your endless night
On the other side of the street
Yea, the light on you portrait and the light in your face
And you’ll be looking for another dirty place
Baby, this side of the street
Well, keep dreaming baby that your desire brings and, girl
I know the sadness that you find in things, it’s true
Well baby if you can take the heat, what can I do?
Well you and your poetry and your cuckoo world
Behind the face you hide the face of a modern girl
On the other side of the street
Yea, you’ve got the look as if you own the world
Therefore, you go out there and say what you can earn
On the wrong side of the street
Well, you’re tired of everyday bringing the same and so you
Go out looking for some strange new games
Well pretty soon you don’t know the score anymore
I know the danger your desire brings
And I know the strangeness that you’ll find
Wait and it will seem straighter for you and me
Well, turn on the end baby turn off the lamps
There’ll be an end darling to this endless night
On the other side of the street
Yeah, and everyday, well, it just brings the same
You started looking for some very strange new games
On the wrong side of the street
Well, you and your desires lead to confusion
Well, walk away as I don’t follow your illusions
And see, open your eyes and see, girl Notes:
