Down On Terminal Street (2004 Remastered Version) (2004 - Remaster)

Down On Terminal Street (2004 - Remaster) - Be Bop Deluxe

I took a walk down

Terminal street last night

To see the ancient

Faces living there

I saw the sunken

Eyes of agony

And saw the desperate

Stations of despair

The madman waiting

For the spirit girls to come

In a song well written

But unsung

I saw the smiling wardens

Cracking down the noose

In which my drowning

Head was hung

Oh down on terminal street

Oh down on terminal street

The street cafe was

Closed to all but ghosts

Who glide the alleys

Searching for their lair

I heard a voice like

Winter call my name

Said very soon that

I would join them there

And all the creatures born

Of ink and rage and lies

Jumped off my pan

And ran across the page to die

Preservation was the

Term of their disease

Degradation is the

Term of their release

Oh down on terminal street

Oh down on terminal street

Oh yes I'm down on terminal

Street tonight

Oh no not down on terminal

Street tonight

Oh yes down on terminal

Street tonight

Oh no down on terminal

Street tonight

Oh yes I'm down

On terminal street tonight

Terminal street
