Up Our Street

Sixteen summers
Called out a lifetime
Tried fifteen weeks in
A culture of boy

I'm not with fear
A down on my board
The people change
But the face is done

The screams of the those who won't
Life goes on nothing but
A back down here
And I'll scream

It could all be over
And no one ever sees me on
The face that keeps him safely in
Thank God for the river
And don't walk the
Sidewalk sweat but
No one gives a damn

Could it be those things
We took for granted
When we followed
The way of our hearts

All of those times
We could have over
I guess you'd have to reconcile
The bitter bit of self denial
But we wouldn't care there a
Not for that you

That always will remain
Down here in up our street
There's evil in the air
You say you don't believe it

But look at the red in
Those springtime blues
Thank God for the river
And stone walls
The sidewalks west but
No one gives a damn
