lyrics

Downtown Toronto
14 shows from home
the bar is looking empty
there's no pay phone I can find

the microphone's been beaten
the stage is carpet red
it's raining on Young Street
and there's puddles in my head

I'm thinking about your face
and how I'd hold you on the corner
and steal you in some doorway
of a store that'll be closed

til the morning

looking down the highway
my focus window-framed
the signs just change their colours
and the towns just change their names
the streets have been beaten
I'm given beer and bread
it's raining on Young Street
and there's puddles in my head

I'm thinking about your face
and how I'd hold you on the corner
and steal you in some doorway
of a store that will be closed

til the morning

these bars are full of pictures
papparazzi pictures
framing all the fruits
of tragedies
cocaine and a bombshell
winking at the camera
as the night falls
I wait til the morning

downtown Toronto
14 shows from home
the bar is looking empty
and there's no pay phone I can find
