[01:18.13]One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
[01:23.47]Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
[01:29.19]Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
[01:34.67]Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
[01:42.25]And hiding on the backstreets,
[01:47.77]Hiding on the backstreets
[01:52.42]With a love so hard and filled with defeat
[01:57.75]Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
[02:12.34]Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton*s Wing
[02:17.92]Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
[02:23.79]Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
[02:29.27]In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything
[02:34.71]To go running on the backstreets,
[02:41.82]running on the backstreets
[02:46.51]Terry We swore we*d live forever
[02:52.19]On the backstreets we take it together
[03:07.59]Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
[03:11.48]Where dancers scraped the tears up off the street dressed down in rags
[03:17.66]Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
[03:22.94]At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
[03:28.77]Blame it on the lies that killed us
[03:31.61]Blame it on the truth that ran us down
[03:34.99]You can blame it all on me Terry it don*t matter to me now
[03:40.43]When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
[03:46.00]But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
[04:26.93]Laying here in the dark you*re like an angel on my chest
[04:32.01]Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
[04:37.79]Remember all the movies, Terry, we*d go see
[04:42.82]Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
[04:49.40]And after all this time to find we*re just like all the rest
[04:54.67]Stranded in the park and forced to confess
[05:00.39]To hiding on the backstreets,
[05:07.22]Hiding on the backstreets
[05:12.01]We swore forever friends
[05:17.68]on the backstreets until the end
