|
Someone called out to you |
|
And it sounded just like crying |
|
On a street where nobody |
|
Even knows your name |
|
Your mind was getting high on the sweet air |
|
As your spirit was flying |
|
Steam rising from the sidewalks |
|
Of new orleans after an evening rain |
|
Steam rising from the sidewalks |
|
After an evening rain |
|
And it only made the heat |
|
Feel like it was walking even closer |
|
As you headed up st. charles |
|
To catch a streetcar named desire |
|
Young couple struggling in the doorway |
|
Like he was trying to force her |
|
In the distance you swore |
|
You could hear them open fire |
|
Tires squealing in the distance |
|
As you heard them open fire |
|
Chorus: |
|
Walk on, walk on |
|
Don't look back |
|
Don't ask questions |
|
Don't you try to understand |
|
Walk on, walk on |
|
Straight back down to your hotel room |
|
Where she lies waiting for her man |
|
You're so afraid you might be losing love |
|
That is makes you worry |
|
And you wonder if she's ever seen this |
|
Kind of fear in you |
|
And you think of that young couple |
|
In the doorway |
|
And it makes you hurry |
|
You wonder what kind of fear |
|
They might be living through |
|
Yeah you wonder if |
|
They saw that fear in you |
|
Chorus |
