Side Streets
(c) 2002 Elam Blackman

broke winged angel what's your angle truobador
night is wrestling day I'm a different man than I was
the day before
there she is a vision of what's to come
she places the reddest rose between barret and thumb

thank god for days you can't predict
full of side streets
cuz the old travelled roads they just don't click

what are we? but a fleeting moment of truth
straddeling the future and days of our youth
circle round to the challenge you've found
all there is is to meet it. you don't have to take it
down

thank god for days you can't predict
full of side streets
cuz the old travelled roads they just don't click

the imagery of your name
brings me back to a familiar place again
I love what the night becomes when I'm alone
I get a feeling... I am not going home

thank god for days you can't predict
full of side streets
cuz the old travelled roads they just don't click

"the night is empty" I sing that's what I do
you were here but now you are traces and residue

thank god for days you can't predict
full of side streets
cuz the old travelled roads they just don't click
