Carson Street Blues

Hand in hand down Carson street
sidewalks full of starvation
each one hungry for your soul.
Musicians whores don't look so
strung out under the neon glow.
Sexuality drips like sweat down
our spines.

Sex and sin in blue jeans,
and famous for the blink of an eye.
On the concert stage she stands
confident and proud,
with just a guitar in her hands and
a voice that never wavers she
draws in the crowd.

On Carson street
just you and me
the beautiful people
and warm summer breeze.
Down on Carson street
tonight babe
we can be most anything.

Blue eyes see with new sight
how amazing the night life
can be under the city lights.
With just a little bit of common
sense the city'll help you lose
most innocence.
Decadence and flashing necklace
birthday suit to formal dress
the less you wear the more they stare.

Smiling eyes lend a hand
Oh my baby that's just grand.
Another secret in a Vegas bar
with that attitude boy you'll
get real far.
Lazer lights and disco balls
mixing shots with alcohol
yeah baby now we're ten feet tall.

On Carson street
just you and me
the beautiful people
and warm summer breeze.
Down on Carson street
tonight babe
we can be most anything.

But Pittsburgh's tied to you
the memories of just us two.
And your somewhere in between
the air in my lungs and sweetest dreams.
Get an inch for every mile
it's your charming wit and sensual smile.
And we're melting liquid sex upon
the ground.

The city joins you in my veins
now there's two things that I crave.
My recollections must be fading
like the stale smoke in my hair.
It's not your hand in mine
when I look back,
it's the city,
she holds me there.
