Lust'n'Love Songtext

von Stray Cats

The wind is blowin' beer cans
Down a cold deserted street
I feel as empty as those beer cans
Rollin' past my feet
I can hear Chicago blues
From an out of tune guitar
And a 1939 neon sign buzzin'
Above the bar

I'm at an intersection
Lost my direction & I don't
Know which way to go
She left me on the corner
Of lust and love

I got an old tattoo
Dedicated to you
Covered up with thorns
But my heart bleeds through
And your name does too
Forever on my arm
Each night I go walkin'
Through the darkness all alone
But I never get of
That dirty old street
No matter how far I roam

Underneath the street light
I strain my eyes to see
The silhouettes reflection
Of a long black mercury
Shadows on the pavement
From the corner of my eye
Fool me into thinkin'
My baby's passin' by.
