Well, the streetlights shine down on Blessing Avenue Lovers they walk by, holding hands two by two A breeze crosses the bicycle spokes spin 'round My jackets on, 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 their summer clothes, pass me by
A kid's rubber ball smacks Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light Big bank clock chimes Off go the front porch lights Downtown the stores alight as the evening's underway Things been a 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 neon sign spinning round 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 like a knife Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life In just a glance, down here on magic street Love’s a fool's dance And I ain't got much sense, but I still got my feet
The girls in their clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their 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
