[01:13.85]One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
[01:19.02]Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
[01:24.98]Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
[01:29.72]Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
[01:36.56]And hiding on the backstreets
[01:42.18]Hiding on the backstreets
[01:46.68]With a love so hard and filled with defeat
[01:51.56]Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
[02:05.06]Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton*s Wing
[02:10.77]Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
[02:16.59]Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
[02:20.75]In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything
[02:26.55]To go running on the backstreets
[02:33.54]Running on the backstreets
[02:36.30]Terry We swore we*d live forever
[02:43.13]On the backstreets we take it together
[02:57.50]Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
[03:01.83]Where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags
[03:06.27]Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
[03:12.56]At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole d**n city crying
[03:17.61]Blame it on the lies that killed us
[03:19.94]Blame it on the truth that ran us down
[03:23.49]You can blame it all on me Terry it don*t matter to me now
[03:28.68]When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
[03:33.99]But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
[03:58.13]Laying here in the dark you*re like an angel on my chest
[04:15.15]Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
[04:25.56]Remember all the movies Terry we*d go see
[04:39.33]Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
[06:17.87]And after all this time to find we*re just like all the rest
[07:21.32]Stranded in the park and forced to confess
