Streets of paradise Lyrics

Streets of paradise Lyrics

From a backwater town in Ohio, all the way down to New Orleans

Hiding deep in the bayou, waiting on a Northbound river queen


For too many years now, I've been the devil's own

In a midnight rage, I take the streets alone


Chorus:

Living in the shadows, hiding in the shadows of night

Wounded in the shadows, down on the streets,

down on the streets

Down on the streets of paradise


Walking around there was a wound in my head

For many long days I was left there for dead

So many miles from the borderline

Only half a man down on the streets tonight


Living in the shadows (hiding in the shadows of night)

Hiding in the shadows of night (wounded in the shadows)

Wounded in the shadows (lying in the shadows)

Down on the streets, down on the streets,

down on the streets of paradise

(repeats 2x)
