Well, the streetlights shine down on Blessing Avenue Lovers they walk by, holding two by two A breeze crosses the porch, bicycle spokes spin 'round My jackets I'm out the door And tonight I'm gonna burn this town down
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer pass me by
A kid's rubber ball smacks Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light Big bank clock chimes Off go the sleepy front porch lights Downtown the stores alight as the evening's underway Things been little tight But I know they're gonna turn my way
And the in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
Frankie's diner, an old friend on the edge of town The neon sign spinning Like a cross over the lost and found The fluorescent lights flick over Pop's Grill Shaniqua brings the coffee and asks, Fill? and says “ Penny for your now my boy, Bill”.
She went away, she cut me like a knife Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life just a glance, down here on magic street Love’s a fool's dance And I ain't got much sense, but I got my feet
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The in their summer clothes, pass me by
The girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by
