There were places to go an d
Well I had some dreams in my head
and some tricks up my sleeve
I'll be lucky to leave with my life,
yeah, I'll be lucky to leave
Over the line, into your bed
And a wise man might fear to tread
You closed my mouth with a touch,
Oh you tried to turn back the tide,
where the city lights burn
The stars right out of the sky
And the birds sing all night
Just to say that they'd arrive
Lucky to leave with our lives
Lucky to leave with our lives
But the streets that I'm walking on
I changed horse in midstream
Thought I'd slip off the hook
Now I'm battered and cooked
Where the city lights burn,
the stars ride out of the sky
And the birds sing all night,
Losing my name like the millions who
came just to say that they'd arrive
lucky to leave with our lives
lucky to leave with our lives
