《Emerald Street》歌词

[00:00:20] Pregnant teens on the Barton street bus

[00:00:22] Homeless people living off crust

[00:00:24] And there's a beat up town car it's starting to rust

[00:00:27] Hard soles are kicking up dust

[00:00:30] Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50's

[00:00:35] To the north all the small town outcasts are now big city bourgeoisie

[00:00:40] All the boys in the halfway houses

[00:00:42] Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

[00:00:45] Our calloused fingers blood red on the brick but we hold on

[00:00:51] Hold on

[00:00:54] We'll never falter though they want us to slip we hold on

[00:01:02] Hold on

[00:01:15] The desperate downtown stealing bikes

[00:01:17] Drunks in the village are picking fights

[00:01:19] So police like the streets to read them their rights

[00:01:22] No controlling hot summer nights

[00:01:24] The sun goes down on the edge of town at the end of everyday

[00:01:29] We sit and watch the stacks on fire to the east across the bay

[00:01:34] All the boys in the halfway houses

[00:01:37] Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

[00:01:39] Our calloused fingers blood red on the brick but we hold on

[00:01:45] Hold on

[00:01:49] We'll never falter though they want us to slip we hold on

[00:01:56] Hold on

[00:02:09] There's something in the church belfry

[00:02:11] On the corner of Victoria and king

[00:02:19] And it screams out into the night

[00:02:24] It sings this city's plight

[00:02:29] All the boys in the halfway houses

[00:02:31] Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

[00:02:33] Hold on hold on

[00:02:44] Our calloused fingers blood red on the brick but we hold on

[00:02:51] Hold on

[00:02:54] We'll never falter though they want us to slip we hold on

[00:03:01] Hold on
