One soft, infested summer me and Terry became friends Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in Catching rides to the outskirts, tying faith between our teeth Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house, getting wasted in the heat
And hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets With a love so hard and filled with defeat Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing Where desperate lovers park, we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings Huddled in our cars, waiting for the bells that ring In the deep heart of the night they set us loose of everything
To go running on the backstreets Running on the backstreets Terry, you swore we'd live forever Taking it on them backstreets together
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag Where dancers scraped the the tears up off the streets, dressed down in rags Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying At night sometimes it seemed you could hear that whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down You can blame it all on me, Terry, it don't matter to me now When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
Laying here in the dark, you're like an angel on my chest Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see? Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be
And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess
To hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Where we swore forever friends On the backstreets until the end
Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets It was alright We'll go hiding on the backstreets tonight
Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets
