Midnight Avenue by Sutherland Brothers Lyrics

In the midnight avenue
That's when you think of what's to do
Decide it's best to use more force
But then it never works out of course
All the things you look upon
Just to watch them till they're gone
The ones you know you can't afford
But still you try to buy with words
In the midnight avenue

On a windswept open beach
The kind that's always out of reach
To me that ocean where it ends
The old eternal poet's friend
Make your peace with what you will
Your life depends upon your skill
In keeping lovers at your call
And sharing each with one and all
In the midnight avenue

If your spirit flies away
And they tell you it's gone to stay
Will you die and call it a day
Or will you live in a different way?
When the pistols smash your brain
Will you think of love, okay
Will you think of paradise
Will you hope it turns out nice?
In the midnight avenue
Da da Chopin, crazy black
Nantucket sleigh ride, oh yeah
Johnny and the asteroid, oh yeah
All the things you look upon
Just to watch them till they're gone
The ones you know you can't afford
But still you try to buy with words
In the midnight avenue
