|
walk on |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
