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