Lonely Street by The Marc Tanner Band Lyrics

This was lonely street
One-way avenue
Hustler's paradise
Small talk sidewalk news
You live to stay alive

There, the dreams die young
Wrapped in alibis
I once sang that song
Believed in all the lies
And pride is letting people die

Whoa, the dues you gotta pay

Whoa, it's a killer
Life on lonely street
Fear runs the city
Find some sympathy
Whoa, it's a killer
Life on lonely street
It's sad to think some people never leave
This is downtown blues
There's no sadder song
The tune is everywhere
The words are on the walls
You live to stay alive

Back on lonely street
Been a long, long time
Nothing seemed to change
Just the reasons why
I came to say goodbye (bye-bye)

Whoa, whoa, the dues you gotta pay
Hey, hey

Whoa, it's a killer
Life on lonely street
Fear runs the city
Find some sympathy
Whoa, it's a killer
Life on lonely street
It's sad to think some people never leave

Whoa, it's a killer
Life on lonely street
Cheap wine on the breath of the city
More shit than you've ever seen
Whoa, it's a killer
Life on lonely street
It's sad to think some people never leave
It's sad to think some people never leave
Whoa, yeah
