Into the night on heels I stumble   Like a star about to shoot   Catch me down the avenue like   A dandy lion parachute      Release the hounds, chase my tail and   Treat me like a renegade   I'm as patient as a chain-reaction   But I am not afraid      We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike   Going away, you know what it feels like   I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro   The rocks in my shoes won«t dig into my feet   Free of the promises that I can«t keep   I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro      No matter what you say   I can't shake off this fling      Into the night I paint the city   In the colors of my eyeshade   Walking with a papertiger   I am not afraid      We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike   Going away, you know what it feels like   I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro   The rocks in my shoes won't dig into my feet   Free of the promises that I can't keep   I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro      No matter what you say   I can't shake off this fling   No matter what you do   I can't shake off this fling      The number of tears you cry equals the number of tears you dry   I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
