There's a place where the weary lead the waltz
Where gutterpuppets marionette
Imaginary pirouettes
And each man's heart is like a gum on the road
Chewed on and spat out and a 1.000 times stood upon
Well I would'nt call it romance
Perhaps though an aftershow
It's the lane where we land
When we did not find our way back home
So come with me to the heights above this city yeah
We'll watch the dead lights go out
On Skid Road
On Skid Road where Mary juggles bubbles
Waiting for a kiss to blow her way
Where most men in her stead kiss the street farewell
Watching their last hiss of hope go down the drain
Eyes wide open and staring at a spirit
Leaving for the skies
No I would'nt call it romance
Perhaps though an aftershow
Where the people are dancing
When the music died out long ago
So come with me to the heights above this city yeah
We'll watch the dead lights go out
On Skid Road
You can't climb a magic mountain
With broken bones
And there is no smell through a shattered nose
On Skid Road where exhausted breath at last exhale
Where the heads sway low in a trance of sorrow
That's Skid Road
