Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A sip of wine
A cigarettes
Then it's time to go
I tidied up the kitchenette
I tuned the old banjo
I'm wanted at the traffic jam
They're savin' me a seat
I'm what I am and what I am
Is back on Boogie street
[Verse 2]
And oh, my love
I still recall
The pleasures that we knew
The rivers and the waterfall
Wherein I bathed with you
Bewildered by your beauty there
I'd kneel to dry your feet
By such instructions you prepare
A man for Boogie street
[Verse 3]
Oh, crown of light
Oh, darkened one
I never thought we'd meet
You kiss my lips
And then it's done
And I'm back
Back on Boogie street
[Verse 4]
So come, my friends
Be not afraid
We are so lightly here
It isn't love that we are made
In love we disappear
Though all the maps of blood and flesh
Are posted on the door
There's no one who has told us yet
What Boogie street is for
[Verse 5]
Oh, crown of light
Oh, darkened one
I never thought we'd meet
You kiss my lips
And then it's done
And I'm back
Back on Boogie street
[Verse 6]
A sip of wine
A cigarette
And then it's time to go
I tidied up the kitchenette
I tuned the old banjo
I'm wanted at the traffic jam
They're savin' me a seat
I'm what I am and what I am
Is back
Back on Boogie street
