"Bleecker Street" lyrics

When the times get hard
And you live in your car
Well there's a place to be
And the wind and the rain and the snow
Drive you out of your head
Just take a trip downtown
And wear a smile not a frown
You're in good company
On Bleecker Street

Let the speakers speak
Where the lovers meet
Hear the drums shout their beat
On Bleecker Street

Well the whole the thing began
At a show in Milan
Where the system broke
And I knew deep inside that
I had to find somewhere to go
I got there eventually
I found peace and harmony
The world seemed a better place
On Bleecker Street

Let the speakers speak
Where the lovers meet
Hear the drums shout their beat
On Bleecker Street

On Bleecker Street there's a place to meet
Where nobody lies and nobody cheats
You can find your friends, you can run away
You can paint it red or you can sleep all day
You can open up and you can spill your heart
You can be alone or make a brand new start
When there's nowhere left you can rest your feet
You'll be welcome back yeah down on Bleecker Street

It's too hot for the city hyenas
It's too cold for the downtown sharks
Meet in public when you're in broad daylight
Or by the moon when it's after dark
It's too dusky for the alley cats
It's too risky for the everyday people
It's too dirty for the dirty rats
I'll never leave now I'm finally here

I'll never leave now I'm finally here (Finally here)
I'll never leave now I'm finally here (Finally here)
I'll never leave now I'm finally here (Finally here)
I'll never leave now I'm finally here
