Oh billy stares at cherry in the hall   And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall   Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat   Beneath the stars on the street   Oh on lexington avenue they stand   Velvet aces they case the promised land   Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands   Oh, tryin' to catch a ride      Tonight we're lovers in the cold   Running past the graveyards in the snow   Walking in the street with nowhere to go   And it's no, no, no      Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store   He pulls away just as billy runs out the door   Oh and billy won't run anymore, no, no, no      Oh baby I can't lay the stars at your feet   Oh but I think we could take it all, just you and me   Oh come on, you'll see, there's a lot of room   For you baby, in this front seat      Tonight we're lovers on that road (in the snow)   Running past the graveyards in the snow   Walking in the street with nowhere to go   And it's oh, oh, oh
