[00:11.23]I would love to be the lucky one on Chill Avenue
[00:15.88]Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue
[00:18.90]But beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
[00:21.92]I'm lookin' back for home and I can see the lights
[00:25.11]I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way
[00:28.06]From Camden Town station on to 44th and 8th
[00:31.12]Not many make it this far, many say we're great
[00:34.39]But just like them we walk on, we can't escape our fate
[00:37.68]Can't you hear the sighin'
[00:43.78]Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
[00:46.72]Both say they needed somethin' new
[00:49.66]So I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[00:52.84]I burn money at the lights of the sign
[00:55.59]The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
[01:02.38]I'm standing at the Gates of the East
[01:05.33]I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
[01:08.02]The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
[01:15.23]The immigrants and remnants of all the glory years
[01:18.52]Are clustered 'round the bar again for another round of beers
[01:21.45]Little Richard's in the kitchen playin' spoons and plates
[01:24.62]He's tellin' the waitress he's great
[01:27.44]Ah say I know somewhere back 'n' forth in time
[01:30.97]Out on the dust bowls, deep in the roulette mine
[01:33.92]Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
[01:37.01]There's a move into the future for the USA
[01:42.49]I hear them cryin'
[01:46.91]Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
[01:49.54]Both said they needed something new
[01:52.61]So I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[01:55.91]I burn money at the lights of the sign
[01:58.62]The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
[02:05.89]I'm standing at the Gates of the East
[02:08.65]I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
[02:11.50]The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
[02:31.26]Standing at the Gates of the West
[02:36.91]In the shadow again
[02:43.75]I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[02:49.76]In the shadow again
[02:56.43]I'm standing at the Gates of the West
[03:02.40]In the shadow again
[03:11.85]In the shadow again
