| Downtown boys are built for speed
|
| He could never set you free
|
| They all wear new uniforms
|
| Ours have all been frayed and torn
|
| We sing it like we mean it
|
| We sing 'cause we mean it
|
| Four blocks north where I hang out
|
| The chairs go up, the lights go down
|
| Clear the station
|
| They all know just how I feel
|
| The kids on Center Street are reckless in the moonlight
|
| We stay together
|
| We sing until we feel right
|
| I’m not saying that we’re better than before
|
| But hey, I’m not afraid to be afraid of anything anymore
|
| Out here where the train can cuss
|
| All the bad things turn to dust
|
| These midnight songs are all we’ve got
|
| Lord, don’t push us where we’re hot
|
| We sing it 'cause we mean it
|
| Come and sing it like you mean it
|
| The kids on Center Street are reckless in the moonlight
|
| We stay together
|
| We’re drinking through the night
|
| We are nothing if not great
|
| We’re stronger than before
|
| But hey, we’re not afraid to be afraid of anything anymore
|
| Staring at stars, showing our scars
|
| Like diamond rings and Cadillac cars
|
| Find me on the porch when it rains
|
| Watching all the drunks and the trains
|
| We seem the only ones to dumb to die, of course
|
| We got Tennessee Three and the Gang of Four
|
| Play the Motor City, five rambling roads
|
| The devil is six and God is seven
|
| And I forget what eight was for
|
| The kids on Center Street are reckless in the moonlight
|
| We stay together
|
| We’re drinking 'til we feel right
|
| I’m not saying that we’ll make it through the night
|
| But hey, I get the feeling we might
|
| The kids on Center Street are reckless in the moonlight
|
| We stay together
|
| We’re singing through the night
|
| We are nothing if not great
|
| We’re stronger than before
|
| And hey, we’re not afraid to be afraid of anything anymore
|
| We sing it like we mean it
|
| Anything anymore
|
| Come and sing it like you mean it |
