[01:18.79]One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
[01:23.82]Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
[01:29.76]Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
[01:34.73]Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
[01:41.81]And hiding on the backstreets,
[01:46.30]Hiding on the backstreets
[01:52.27]With a love so hard and filled with defeat
[01:57.21]Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
[02:11.05]Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton*s Wing
[02:16.68]Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
[02:22.01]Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
[02:27.59]In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything
[02:32.83]To go running on the backstreets,
[02:39.35]running on the backstreets
[02:44.19]Terry We swore we*d live forever
[02:49.56]On the backstreets we take it together
[03:04.54]Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
[03:09.07]Where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags
[03:14.45]Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
[03:20.13]At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
[03:25.46]Blame it on the lies that killed us
[03:28.35]Blame it on the truth that ran us down
[03:31.19]You can blame it all on me Terry it don*t matter to me now
[03:36.87]When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
[03:42.20]But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
[04:20.01]Laying here in the dark you*re like an angel on my chest
[04:24.55]Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
[04:30.52]Remember all the movies, Terry, we*d go see
[04:35.36]Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
[04:41.24]And after all this time to find we*re just like all the rest
[04:46.72]Stranded in the park and forced to confess
[04:51.70]To hiding on the backstreets,
[04:58.28]Hiding on the backstreets
[05:03.12]We swore forever friends
[05:08.39]on the backstreets until the end
[05:33.52]hiding on the backstreets,
[05:36.01]
