On The Avenue Lyrics - Aztec Camera

Words and music by roddy frame 

Everybody's walking through the city all alone 

But no one talks about it 

I am just a simple, unassuming kind of man 

So neither do i 

But I walk like the rest and try to do my best 

'til I'm beaten, 'til I'm blue 

And it shines like the sun inside of everyone 

Like the neon that I see in the rain 

On the avenue 

Everybody's dreaming 'bout a city in the sky 

Where we can live without love 

I am just a simple, unassuming kind of guy 

So so do i 

But to feed you from a shell, fill you up and wish you 

Well. 

That's my reason, it's what I do 

And it shines in the guise of egyptian sparkling eyes 

In the basement of a hotel 

Paradise 

On the avenue 

And if the hotel burns down 

We'd probably drown 'neath the firemens' hoses 

Holy moses! 

I would still believe that paradise 

Was there with you 

Never blue 

Stuck like glue 

On the avenue
