A STREET NAMED DESIRE
Lyrics by Mike Mccaffrey
Music by Duane Hultin
I know i'm looking for love
in all the wrong places
With every expensive smile
And each hard face
I lay down my cash
On the red side of town
But in the end
She always brings me down

I'm driving my car
Down a street named desire
All the houses have burned down
But there's no sign of your fire

I'm searching for something
That just can't be found
It has to be given
Like flowers from the ground
Loneliness is no excuse
for the paths i've taken
But there is a truth
In the promise i'm breaking

You can't depend upon
the kindness of strangers
You have to listen to your heart
And damn the dangers
There's a touch so soft
out there somewhere
And a heart to be held
if only you would dare

There's only one chance that matters
You can blow all the rest
When love comes to you
you have to rise above the mess
I want to find you in my bed
Find you in the flesh
I want to believe in the church of love
I'm blessed
