Down Desire Avenue — Stina Nordenstam

Down desire avenue

Where all the pilots go

Line in a bar when day is thru

Keeping the world in a place below

Tall second rated moviestars

Step from their overcoloured truth

Out thru a side door right into

Desire avenue

Empty faces, silly walks

Coming in from the tight-rope dance

Men judging balance above all

Looking down on their shaking hands

Its coming up its hard to breathe

And I think of you

Im going down but nothings cheap

Down desire avenue

One bite of cold and one of heat

A sip of lust a sip of pain

A careless way to cross the street

That is the way to play this game

Now - is a red-hot piece of coal

Thrown right at you

This isnt courage anymore
