(Ian Hunter/Darrel Bath)
(Transcribed by Colin Ford)
On the Avenue of dead umbrellas In a place where nothin` sleeps No one`s pickin` up the pieces - no one speaks Snow falls down - God dusts funky town For once this place looks pure Tell that to the people who live in the wind - they ain`t so sure
In the middle of a violent night - in the glare of a naked light In the middle of a nightmare At the bottom of the deepest well - in the middle of a private hell Shit scared - out there - nowhere
Then I open my eyes - ice on the window - the sun is tryin` to break through
Then I open my eyes - in the land of the livin` - and it`s all right Seen a man rattle in a battle that no one could win I had to turn my soul away Shit`s gonna happen - whether you like it or not S` just the way it is
Then I open my eyes - boats on the river - headin` down the east side Then I open my eyes - and the trash(?) slips away Soft and supple - like some alibi You been walkin in her sleep - there ain`t no cure for the secrets you hide
In the middle of my wildest dream - in a place where nothin`s what it seems
At the time of a great loss From the hoods and the broken homes - this danger`s got a smell of it`s own In the middle of c-c-chaos In the valley of the shadow of death - the Bellevue boys out kickin` ass In the middle of fire Inside the belly of the beast - in a place where wonders never cease You go higher, higher, higher
Then I open my eyes - life in a nutshell - it`s over `fore you know it Then I open my eyes
And the city wakes up - puts coffee in cups - when I open my eyes And the kids go to school - Imus rules - when I open my eyes I love you n` you love me N` it rains so I buy an umbrella from the guy on 23rd and Second Avenue
