Well the streetlights shine Down on Blessing Avenue Lovers they walk by Holding hands two by two A breeze crosses the porch Bicycle spokes spin 'round Jacket's on, I'm out the door Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down And the girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in 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 sleepy 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 girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes Pass me by Frankie's Diner's An old friend on the edge of town The neon sign spinning round Like a cross over the lost and found The fluorescent lights Flick above Pop's Grill Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?" And says "penny for your thoughts now my boy, Bill" She went away She cut me 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 I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet And the girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes Pass me by And the girls in their summer clothes In the cool of the evening light The girls in their summer clothes Pass me by La la la la, la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la la [fades]
