Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall. And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall. Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat. Beneath the stars on the street. Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand. Velvet aces they case the promised land. Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands. Oh tryin' to catch a ride. Tonight we're lovers in the cold. Running past the graveyards in the snow. Walking in the street with nowhere to go. And it's no no no. Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store. He pulls away just as Billy runs out the door. Oh and Billy won't run anymore no no no. Oh baby I can't lay the stars at your feet. Oh but I think we could take it all just you and me. Oh come on you'll see there's a lot of room. For you baby in this front seat. Tonight we're lovers on that road (in the snow). Running past the graveyards in the snow. Walking in the street with nowhere to go. And it's oh oh oh.
