I'm coming around the bend   Been a long time on the avenue   Lovers and losers chained to my heart      Standing here waiting for you   Waiting here just for you to pass through      You can't wear me out   I'm at a hard place and a wall   Rolling down the avenue   Just rolling down the avenue      Blue velvet dreams, a neighbor for a friend   Flying high in the city, looks good again      Standing here waiting for you   Waiting here just for you to pass through      Motel man with a lizard hand   Honky tonk Dan and an old tin can   Ice cream on Sunday   Lots more on Monday      All lovers are fools and I'm gonna fool ya   Sidewalk hurricane blowing over me   Flower-bomb blow out down on Redondo beach   Baby I want to keep you, walk, talk and sleep you   I think I'll keep you on the avenue, down on the avenue
