This street that man this life - Cowboy Junkies

This street holds its secrets

Like a cobra holds its kill

This street minds its business

Like a jailer minds his jail

That house there is haunted

That doors a portal to hell

This street holds its secrets very well

That man wears his skin

Like a dancer wears her veils

That man stalks his victims

Like a cancer stalks a cell

That mans soul has left him

His hearts as deadly as a rusty nail

That man sheds his skin

Like a veil

Lord you play a hard game

You know we follow every rule

Then you take the one thing we thought wed never lose

All I ask is if shes with you please keep her warm and safe

And if its in your power please purge the memory of this place

This life holds its secrets like a sea shell holds the sea

Soft and distant calling like a fading memory

This life has its victories

But its defeats tear so viciously

This life holds its secrets like the sea
