You've heard it said, I taught the bird to fly   One kiss from me and some can't say goodbye   The place you'll find me when the sun goes down   After hours, on the wrong side of town      How many faces will I change today?   Take them to places where the shadows play   That's where you'll find me when the sun goes down   After hours, on the wrong side of town      Lulled by the promise of a broken dream   They all come looking for the answers   The question's never if and when they fall from grace   After all, it's just a matter of time      Here comes another with a life to spare   So young and innocent, but I know that stare   Just whistle Parker's mood and I'll be there   After hours, on the wrong side of town      After hours, on the wrong side of town   Stay away from the wrong side of town
