Streets Of Shame Lyrics - Wishbone Ash

I was a long way from home, on the streets of shame, 

Where the women in cages play any kind of game. 

That's when I saw her, and I looked into her eyes - 

I don't speak the language, but I sure see the merchandise. 

Oh, what could I say? I was hot for you. 

When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do? 

Tell me where I draw the line, let me have it one more time. 

She was a sight, she had a ring right through her nose. 

A feeling came over me from my head right down to my toes. 

Must have been the voodoo, or that trickery, 

Like something in a movie by rico fellini. 

Oh, what could I say? I was hot for you. 

When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do? 

Tell me where I draw the line, let me have it one more time. 

Black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat four times) 

Well, I think she knew by now that I was no saint. 

Is this the holy cow, waiting 'till I retain? 

Left her angel line-up - I was begging her for more. 

Standing on the concrete, I'm going to break down the door. 

Oh, what could I do? I was hot for you. 

When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do? 

Tell me where I draw the line, let me have it one more time.
