wishbone ash – streets of shame lyrics
i was a long way from home, on the streets of shame,
where the women in cages play any kind of game.
that’s when i saw her, and i looked into her eyes –
i don’t speak the language, but i sure see the merchandise.
oh, what could i say? i was hot for you.
when you walk that way, what’s a man supposed to do?
tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.
she was a sight, she had a ring right through her nose.
a feeling came over me from my head right down to my toes.
must have been the voodoo, or that trickery,
like something in a movie by rico fellini.
oh, what could i say? i was hot for you.
when you walk that way, what’s a man supposed to do?
tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.
black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat four times)
well, i think she knew by now that i was no saint.
is this the holy cow, waiting ’till i retain?
left her angel line-up – i was begging her for more.
standing on the concrete, i’m going to break down the door.
oh, what could i do? i was hot for you.
when you walk that way, what’s a man supposed to do?
tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.
black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat and fade)
