Front Street

                                  Front Street ain't no place for a boy

Who likes to talk ways that boys do

Unstrung, young, dumb

Comfortably numb



I am old as the star who bears you

Black as the bitch who wears you

Tears you, rips you apart

And then turns it around



Come on feel me

I ain't only one

When it comes apart

We're gonna have some fun, son



Give me five minutes

With your sweetest sweet tea

If she's fine as your missus

Then she's fine enough for me



A rod out the window

A suburban street

And I ain't slept since Monday

Jump in and ride we got deadlines to meet



People to use, lovers to break

Handful of pills, no life to take

River too cold, oven too hot

Bridge a one hundred and fifty foot drop



But there was a day I could say that I loved you

Early one evening I cut through Longview

Lifted you up and you turned it around



Here on Front Street

All the good girls and their boys know

Down in the mine there are diamonds

Down on the street walk the lifeless



And now I know that you're through with me

Can I tell you my love dead honestly?

Life is shame and your hands are stained

Walk in chains and change your name



Go where you go but forget me not

Take a memory too, if it's all you got

Chase your pain with a shot of rain

Dig with a spade or a razor blade



Come on feel me now

I ain't only one

When it comes apart

We're gonna have some fun, son



Come on feel me now

I ain't only one

When it comes apart

We're gonna have some fun, son



We're gonna have some fun, son

We're gonna have some fun, son

We're gonna have some fun, son

Young, dumb, comfortably numb



Give me five minutes

Give me five minutes with your sweetest sweet tea

[?]



You go where you gotta go, forget me not

Take my memory 'cause it's
