lyrics

I stayed away today until I couldn’t stay
I knew by the close of day I’d be back like a trapdoor stowaway

Inside I made the case for a delay of an actual face-to-face
I’m waitin’ just in case they close the place, a taste and chase

Along a dark and gritty street
There’s her part of town
Better keep your blue eyes to your feet
Flat feet on the ground

I followed her apace straight down to the home of the runaways
She looked behind and I looked away into the entry of a shady pay-per-day

I thought I heard her say, “Come on along if you’re comin’ anyway”
Flat feet are in the way, blue eyes betray the break of day

Along a dark and gritty street
There’s her part of town
Better keep your blue eyes to your feet
Flat feet on the ground
