I never thought I’d see the day when you’d finally fall asleep You left a long time ago – before, you came to talk to me Open the door, take a look around and run from me I never had the chance to tell you what you meant to me
Down on the avenue, tell me what you’re gonna do for me Show me what you can do, sell yourself ‘cause what you want ain’t free
Down on your luck again and bad habits don’t come cheap Scratched up your knees again, you sold your soul to the street
Out in the cold, find a way to make ends meet Out on your own, can’t admit that life has you beat
Tattoos, razorblades, crumpled bills and dirty feet I’ll never to live to see the day when you finally start to come clean
Down on the avenue, tell me what you’re gonna do for me Show me what you can do, sell yourself ‘cause what you want ain’t free what you want ain’t free
