  • The problem with the street
    Is it never lets you sleep
    A baiaon of the mind that beats
    So consistently
    And when they built this street
    Whoever could believe
    That they’d create a place
    With such indifferent company?

    Pipes and drains and clangs and rushing cars
    Stray alarms, empty-ing bars
    And through my window frame I see
    You
    Walking away from me

    The problem with a street
    Is it exhorts in such strange ways
    The latches, locks, and gates
    And rushing from place to place
    And when I cannot sleep
    The street
    It always sets this stage
    Where shadows act this play
    And make the same tearful mistakes
    It always ends the same, you see
    The street below
    Holds you and me
    And turning once and finally
    You’re walkin’
    in-to memory

    The problem with the street you see
    The problem - It will always be
    The problem with the street
    It took you away from me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
