These streets are paved with stories

Of faded hopes and glories

No sleepless nights, no worries

Hey, baby, what's your hurry?

I'd like to get to know you

I've got some things to show you

Let's take a walk to my old haunts



These dreams are best forgotten

Passed on from ripe to rotten

Bewildered and besotten

Soaked up in balls of cotton

Oh do not ask what is it

Let's go and make our visit

Let's take a walk to my old haunts



What do you do when you're credit's shot?

Skip town until it's not

What do you do when you've passed your best?

Put a cherry on top and bury it to rest



These eyes are never focused

On all the dreams that choke us

No tricks, no hocus-pocus

Cleared out by wasps and locusts

We're on the road to ruin

There's nothing better doin'

Let's take a walk to my old haunts

Walk...



What do you do when you're credit's shot?

Skip town until it's not

What do you do when you've passed your best?

Put a cherry on top and bury it to rest



These dreams are best forgotten

Passed on from ripe to rotten

Bewildered and besotten

Soaked up in balls of cotten

Oh do not ask what is it

Let's go and make our visit

Let's take a walk to my old haunts

Let's take a walk to my old haunts

Let's take a walk to my old haunts
