[01:14.70]One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
[01:19.70]Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
[01:23.93]Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
[01:30.41]Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
[01:37.43]And hiding on the backstreets,
[01:42.61]Hiding on the backstreets
[01:47.43]With a love so hard and filled with defeat
[01:52.66]Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
[02:06.56]Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton*s Wing
[02:11.79]Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
[02:17.57]Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
[02:22.66]In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything
[02:27.73]To go running on the backstreets,
[02:34.26]running on the backstreets
[02:39.19]Terry We swore we*d live forever
[02:44.53]On the backstreets we take it together
[02:59.38]Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
[03:03.46]Where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags
[03:09.15]Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
[03:14.22]At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
[03:19.66]Blame it on the lies that killed us
[03:22.54]Blame it on the truth that ran us down
[03:25.34]You can blame it all on me Terry it don*t matter to me now
[03:30.96]When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
[03:36.15]But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
[04:14.82]Laying here in the dark you*re like an angel on my chest
[04:19.66]Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
[04:25.48]Remember all the movies, Terry, we*d go see
[04:30.21]Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
[04:36.78]And after all this time to find we*re just like all the rest
[04:41.92]Stranded in the park and forced to confess
[04:47.50]To hiding on the backstreets,
[04:53.77]Hiding on the backstreets
[04:58.81]We swore forever friends
[05:04.03]on the backstreets until the end
[06:52.94]hiding on the backstreets,
[06:55.64]Hiding on the backstreets..
