New Model Army - Poison Street lyrics

rate me

We were singing in the rain - like we invented singing

There's a light in the sky from a million street lights

And we danced all the steps from all those old time movies

Rolling down the hill with laughing hearts

In Poison Street they guard the gates with bitter, bitter tongues

In Poison Street we'll laugh out loud until the shadows go melt away

And I love you now like I love you always ever

Kissing in the dark like a couple of kids

You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder

Like a blind man sees for the very first time

In Poison Street we'll go crashing through the walls that history made for us

In Poison Street we'll spring the traps and race away

Chorus:

So just a kick for this dark damned city of ours

And a kiss, yeah a kiss for you

And just a drink, a toast to the days to come

Now Poison Street won't break us any more

We were singing in the rain - like we wrote that song

There's a light in the sky from the streetlights all around

You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder

Like a man makes fire for the very first time

In Poison Street . . .
