Walkin’ under streetlights
Sweet tights, weeknights
Brothers hustling delights
Fistfights, fast flights
Roll your window down, love
I’m fond of found love
Fifty rose a round love
Tongue love, no glove
Drive me round the town, John
I need to time to rebound
The song in the background
Makes me want to weep now
See the city sleep now
The lights how they creep round
Lonely as the street clown
Cuz deep down they all frown
Street lamp gospel, prayer on my lips
Shivering shadows in a twilight kiss
Echoes on sidewalks, hollow as the breeze
Echoes in my bones as I fall to my knees
Lonely as the dawn draping over city streets
Washing out the night as it seeps into my feet
Oh the yellow light is flowing over me
All I have, my heart, is a glowing honesty
John: Girl, you have cold hands
Ghost hands, hold hands
Kate: I’ve got a lot of plans
Freelance, far lands
John: You sink in quicksand
The nights end a nightstand
Kate: But I know a knight and
He might be my Tarzan
John: Pray on your stars then
Kate: I’ll be your star-send
John: I’ve got my scars, friend
Kate: I’ll be your scar’s end
John: I’ll be your home
Kate: Me? I’ll be your homey
Both: I hope you can hold me
The sunrise is holy
Street lamp gospel, prayer on my lips
Shivering shadows in a twilight kiss
Echoes on sidewalks, hollow as the breeze
Echoes in my bones as I fall to my knees
Lonely as the dawn draping over city streets
Wash away the night as it seeps into my feet
Oh the yellow light is flowing out of me
All I have, my heart, is a glowing honesty
