The Nits - Dapper Street lyrics

rate me

Give me the somber city highroads

The clouds are framed by attic windows

Those are the words I long to hear

But when I walk, I keep my tears from falling

And if you don't know where to go

You're lost in a dead-end street

The houses fall down every day

But maybe someday I'll keep this house from falling

This is the street where I was living

This is the square where I was fighting

Nobody fears the ball and chain

I feel the tears, my memory lane is falling

And still I don't know where to go

I'm lost in a misty town

No poetry in Dead End Street

They tear all the houses down

When you walk in Dapper Street

When you live in Dapper Street

Now it rains on broken windows

The streets are always wet

Through all the empty alleys wind blows

You're never coming back

When you live in Dapper Street

Give me the somber city highroads

The clouds are framed by attic windows

Those are the words I long to hear

But when I walk, I keep my tears from falling

And if you don't know where to go

You're lost in a misty town

No poetry in Dead End Street

They tear all the houses down

When you walk in Dapper Street

When you live in Dapper Street

Now it rains on broken windows

The streets are always wet

Through all the empty alleys wind blows

You're never coming back

When you live in Dapper Street

City crime one grey morning

Blissfully happy I'm walking

City crime one grey morning

Blissfully happy I'm walking

City crime one grey morning

Blissfully happy I'm walking

Suddenly happy in Dapper Street
