On A Street Corner (Until The Break Of Day)

I saw you standing there

On a street corner

Like a piece of meat,

Offering a cigarette

I looked and caught your eyes

And to my surprise

I saw the whole sad truth.

Deep down inside I saw the innocence of youth.

Bodies close together

Softly spoken words

Making love all through the night

Until the break of day

The things that you do

Is it really you?

The love that you feel,

Is it really how you feel?

Bodies close together

Softly spoken words

Making love all through the night

Until the break of day

When I think of you,

I don't know what to do.

Is there not some other way?

Is this the only way?

Well, I often wonder

Will you be doing this much longer

And I hope you won't be found

Lying dead on the ground

On a street corner.
