Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall And walks out into the rain blessed and tall Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat Beneath the stars on the street Oh on Avenue they stand Velvet aces they case the promised land Reachin' 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,
Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store He pulls away just as Billy runs out the door Oh Billy won't run anymore, no, no, no
Oh baby I can't lay the at your feet Oh but I think could take it all, just you and me Oh come on, 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 graveyards in the snow Walking in the street with nowhere to go And it's oh, oh, oh
