Dapper Street - Nits

Give me the sombre city highroads

The clouds are framed by attic windows

Those are the words I long to hear

But when I walk, I keep my tears from falling

And if you don’t know where to go

You’re lost in a dead end street

The houses fall down every day

But maybe someday I’ll keep this house from falling

This is the street where I was living

This is the square where I was fighting

Nobody fears the ball and chain

I feel the tears my memory lane is falling

And still I don’t know where to go

I’m lost in a misty town

No poetry in dead end street

They tear all the houses down

When you walk in Dapperstreet

When you live in Dapperstreet

Now it rains on broken windows

The streets are always wet

Through all the empty alleys wind blows

You’re never coming back

When you live in Dapperstreet

Give me the sombre city highroads

The clouds are framed by attic windows

Those are the words I long to hear

But when I walk, I keep my tears from falling

And if you don’t know where to go

You’re lost in a misty town

No poetry in dead end street

They tear all the houses down

When you walk in Dapperstreet

When you live in Dapperstreet

Now it rains on broken windows

The streets are always wet

Through all the empty alleys wind blows

You’re never coming back

When you live in Dapperstreet

City crime one grey morning

Blissfuly happy I’m walking

City crime one grey morning

Blissfuly happy I’m walking

City crime one grey morning

Blissfuly happy I’m walking

Suddenly happy in Dapperstreet
