The wet evening air dilutes the words As a young couple sit amidst a lovers quarrell The dying lights strain Through an endless grey cover This stage passes leaves way for another The street lights illuminate But shadow the mind And now the wilder side of life you will find
Across the road Two old men blow whistles for fun To fund the liquor fuelled bickering that we've all come to know A friendship dicrepit alone on the slate A life alone 'cept a bottle is now this ones fate But happiness for him is never too hard to find A cheap bottle of whiskey a cheaper bottle of wine
Posters on lampposts and chalk boards in doors The promises of fun and cheap alcohol the lure People outside waiting the mating game is on Loosened up by liquor and livlied up by lust The doorman fears tension his attention is gone Splip in by the ropes to a world still unkown
All kinds start to appear as the light dissappears The atmosphere changes for better or worse A feeling emerges strong but a burden of course Is it fear, is it love or is it simply a curse?
