[00:09.21]One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
[00:19.17]Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
[00:22.73]Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
[00:32.49]Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
[00:35.15]And hiding on the backstreets
[01:13.62]Hiding on the backstreets
[01:16.04]With a love so hard and filled with defeat
[01:18.51]Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
[01:21.35]Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton*s Wing
[01:24.45]Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
[01:28.59]Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
[01:33.68]In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything
[01:43.61]To go running on the backstreets
[01:45.00]Running on the backstreets
[01:46.68]Terry We swore we*d live forever
[01:51.63]On the backstreets we take it together
[01:53.64]Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
[01:56.31]Where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags
[01:59.88]Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
[02:04.20]At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole d**n city crying
[02:07.46]Blame it on the lies that killed us
[02:11.78]Blame it on the truth that ran us down
[02:15.90]You can blame it all on me Terry it don*t matter to me now
[02:22.11]When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
[02:35.84]But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
[02:39.06]Laying here in the dark you*re like an angel on my chest
[02:44.90]Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
[02:48.65]Remember all the movies Terry we*d go see
[03:24.41]Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
[03:34.16]And after all this time to find we*re just like all the rest
[03:41.96]Stranded in the park and forced to confess
