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