Down Desire Avenue Lyrics - Nordenstam Stina

Down Desire Avenue 

where all the pilots go 

Line in a bar when day is thru 

keeping the world in a place below 

Tall second rated moviestars 

step from their overcoloured truth 

out thru a side door right into 

Desire Avenue 

Empty faces, silly walks 

Coming in from the tight-rope dance 

Men judging balance above all 

looking down on their shaking hands 

It's coming up it's hard to breathe 

and I think of you 

I'm going down but nothing's cheap 

down Desire Avenue 

One bite of cold and one of heat 

A sip of lust a sip of pain 

A careless way to cross the street 

that is the way to play this game 

Now - is a red-hot piece of coal 

thrown right at you 

This isn't courage anymore 

down Desire Avenue
