The Avenue

The city's quiet and it's breaking my heart I keep on trying but I just can't make a start There's something different 'bout the avenue now The lights are dimmer and I can barely hear a sound No more cabs I guess I'll walk all the way All the wine in the world couldn't make you stay I know, it's half past eleven and you've gotta go. Jodie's passing out in the other room Mickey's getting loud now he's had a few Everybody's drunk and that's how I knew It's just another night on the avenue Kelly's in the back with somebody new Mickey's starting fights like I thought he'd do I just wanted five minutes to be with you It's just another night on the avenue October but it feels like July Always early but you wandered in past nine Nostalgia's got a hold of my neck New mistakes are shaking hands with my old regrets Desperate to get back to the old times thought I'd try But it just didn't feel right I know - It's over and done with I should let it go In this late hour baby - Do you feel the same? Darkness can drive you crazy, but lights can blind you the same Too much of a good thing baby - you know what they say Jodie's passing out in the other room Mickey's getting loud now he's had a few Everybody's drunk and that's how I knew It's just another night on the avenue Kelly's in the back with somebody new Mickey's starting fights like I thought he'd do I just wanted five minutes to be with you It's just another night on the avenue
