And it sounded just like crying
On a street where nobody
Even knows your name
Your mind was getting high on the sweet air
As your spirit was flying
Steam rising from the sidewalks
Of new orleans after an evening rain
Steam rising from the sidewalks
After an evening rain
And it only made the heat
Feel like it was walking even closer
As you headed up st. Charles
To catch a streetcar named desire
Young couple struggling in the doorway
Like he was trying to force her
In the distance you swore
You could hear them open fire
Tires squealing in the distance
As you heard them open fire
Chorus:
Walk on, walk on
Don't look back
Don't ask questions
Don't you try to understand
Walk on, walk on
Straight back down to your hotel room
Where she lies waiting for her man
You're so afraid you might be losing love
That is makes you worry
And you wonder if she's ever seen this
Kind of fear in you
And you think of that young couple
In the doorway
And it makes you hurry
You wonder what kind of fear
They might be living through
Yeah you wonder if
They saw that fear in you
Chorus
Someone called out to you And it sounded just like crying On a street where nobody Even knows your name Your mind was getting high on the sweet air As your spirit was flying Steam rising from the sidewalks Of new orleans after an evening rain Steam rising from the sidewalks After an evening rain And it only made the heat Feel like it was walking even closer As you headed up st. Charles To catch a streetcar named desire Young couple struggling in the doorway Like he was trying to force her In the distance you swore You could hear them open fire Tires squealing in the distance As you heard them open fire Chorus: Walk on, walk on Don't look back Don't ask questions Don't you try to understand Walk on, walk on Straight back down to your hotel room Where she lies waiting for her man You're so afraid you might be losing love That is makes you worry And you wonder if she's ever seen this Kind of fear in you And you think of that young couple In the doorway And it makes you hurry You wonder what kind of fear They might be living through Yeah you wonder if They saw that fear in you Chorus Explain Request ×
