lyrics

Rot Blues n' Junk Streets

CH:Rot blues n' junk streets
All I could ever findHere in this city
How can a person ever change
If they can't get away
From these rot blues n' junk streets.

There's writing on the wall
But I can't see much at all
Only blues, the rain can't wash away
Some things never ever change.
CH

I know every crack
In this worn out pavement & in the square
There's the same familiar faces
Wonderin' if I got change to spare.
CH

The sky is marred by the reflection
Of the skyline somewhere beyond
The fire escapes & neon there's
something more, there's got to be more.
CH

Day after day
It's the same old story
Livin' to survive
And dreamin' of glory

There's got to be more (I know I'm gonna find it)
More than rot blues n' junk streets
There's got to be something more (I'm gonna find it)
Ooh OO*OOO*Yeah*
I know
more than ...
Rot blues n' junk streets ...
