NEIL YOUNG

NEIL YOUNG - Devil's Sidewalk lyrics

rate me

Well the red light shines

On the streets of hate

Where the devil dines

Who knows what he ate

"It's a simple thing

Trying to stay afloat"

The captain said

Without his boat

Some things are getting better

Other things a little worse

It's a situation

Much like a curse

"It's the devil's sidewalk

It's the devil's door

I've tried to avoid it"

Said the captain of the shore

There's a garden growing

And a million weeds

With no way of knowing

Who's done which deed

"That's an honest tale"

Said the helmsman to the mate

"About a woman delicious

And a matter of fate"

Big wheel keep rollin'

Down on me

"One thing I can tell you

Is you got to be free"

John Lennon said that

And "I believe in love"

But I believe in action

When push comes to shove

"Who cares what you believe,"

Said the captain, amazed

"If you stood in my shoes

Your eyes would be glazed"

So, my fair damsel

Won't you take your leave

Are you headed for the country?

Where you wear the greensleeves

And the children laugh

And the old folks sing

And the church bell tolls

For a miraculous thing

Where the big red furnace

Just blooms and glows

Where the big heart beats

Where the big wheel rolls
