Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall on corner with a gun underneath his coat Beneath the stars on the street Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand Velvet aces they case the land Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands Oh, tryin' to catch a ride
Tonight we're lovers in the cold Running the graveyards in the snow Walking in the street with nowhere to go And it's no, no
Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store He pulls away just as Billy runs out the door Oh and won't run anymore, no, no, no
Oh baby I can't lay the stars at your feet but I think we could take it all, just you and me Oh come you'll see, there's a lot of room For you baby, in this front seat
Tonight we're lovers that road (in the snow) Running past the graveyards in the snow Walking in the street nowhere to go And it's oh, oh, oh
