Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall walks out into the rain so blessed and tall Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat Beneath the on the street Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand Velvet they case the promised land Reachin' out across the 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 it's no, no, no
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 Oh but I think could take it all, just you and me Oh come on, you'll see, there's a lot of room you baby, in this front seat
Tonight we're lovers on that road (in the snow) Running past the graveyards in the snow Walking the street with nowhere to go And it's oh, oh, oh
