Away Down My Street Lyrics

i'll sit inside, emptying a bar

plugging up my brain

killing off my hopes

i'm an idiot king

shoot 'em down one by one

you and me both, we live in a life we don't belong

and the clothes we wear, they always tear

those second-hand clothes, they always tear

those second-hand hopes, they always tear



away down my street

way down my street

i walk, i walk

the sun's a prize for my weak eyes

i put my blindfold on

how do i get out of here?



move along Joe, move along Jack

the burning road welcomes you back

i'm high enough now to turn out the sun

i'm king enough now to close my eyes

and watch the ruins grow like my alibis

like we're already dead, like we're empty as hell

we're jewels on a chain, yeah we're jewels on a chain



away down my street

way down my street

i walk, i walk

the sun's a prize for my weak eyes

i put my blindfold on

how do I get out of here?



because there is no peace

there is no peace



hey, hey God give me a hand

i'm in garbage land

hey man

how do I get out of here?

hey, hey how do I get out of here?

come on man, how do I get out of here?
