Golden Age

Lyrics
A building filled with a hundred rooms, looms overhead Behind the glass and curtains, a million lovers beds They bulldozed that old beerjoint where we drank for free They put a hotel on the skyline where O. Henry's used to be Four thousand days ago in a flood of summer rays These are streets I know back from the golden age It was dark as night at the crack of noon, Lucky Strikes and gin The sun goes down, the clock goes round, oh to be twenty one again Dominoes, the stories go, onto another round Another day, bills to pay, til the Hilton tore it down Four thousand days ago in a flood of summer rays These are streets I know back from the golden age Sunglasses mask a passing glance as the light begins to fade Wind blows trash across the street like a mardi gras parade Staggering like a harlequin I drank at every bar Finally found my way to sleep in the backseat of my car Four thousand days ago in a flood of summer rays These are streets I know back from the golden age
