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
