This Street, That Man, This Life

歌詞

This street holds its secrets like a cobra holds its kill This street minds its business like a jailer minds his jail That house there is haunted That door's a portal to hell This street holds its secrets very well <♪> That man wears his skin like a dancer wears her veils That man stalks his victims like a cancer stalks a cell That man's soul has left him his heart's as deadly as a rusty nail That man sheds his skin like a veil <♪> Lord, you play a hard game you know we follow every rule Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe and if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place <♪> This life holds its secrets like a sea shell holds the sea soft and distant calling like a fading memory This life has its victories but its defeats tear so viciously This life holds its secrets like the sea
