Drove down to Mexico for a while yea Went there for business, I never cracked a smile Met my connection, everything seemed right Headed back to Brooklyn in the dead of the night Had a feeling something wasn`t right Locked in my mirror, oh no, its flashing lights Busted at the border Busted Looks like I`m doin` time Long time long time Busted at the border Busted Looks like goodbye to daylight Eight hours later still sitting in the jail Charged with possession, I can`t make the bail I called my lawyer, he said your on your own boy I got busted at the border Busted Looks like I`m doin` time Long time long time Busted at the border Busted Looks like goodbye to daylight Finally saw the judge, he was lookin` mean He said my type don`t belong on the streets Now I`m doin` twenty, maybe out in ten again Busted at the border Busted Looks like I`m doin` time Long time long time Busted at the border Busted Looks like goodbye to daylight

Had a crazy time down on 42nd street Ya now the people there are always in the heat If you don`t tell no lies, look `em in the face But just one slip of the lip, you`ll be gone without a trace Too many people say they won`t give a glance But they`re just too scared and wouldn`t stand a chance Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street Well me and the boys, we had to get away From all the small town clowns, always got something to say So we packed our bags and headed for the lights Nothin`s better than a blow-out New York night When I hit that place that everyone seems to hate Gonna be myself and make damn sure we stay Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street Had a crazy time down on 42nd street Ya now the people there are always in the heat If ya wanna lose your mind, end up in lost and found I know I`ll see you there, makin` all the rounds Too many people say they won`t give a glance But they`re just too scared and wouldn`t stand a chance Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street

In the heat of the city, in the dead of the night Playin` with my life, it felt so right Lost souls in these empty nights, fill the streets like traffic lights Lookin` for a better way to get through another day Losin` friends by the minute Didn`t care cause there weren`t in it Knew I was headin` for a fall Takin` a chance of losin` it all It was - good till the last drop, I`d walk the wire When it set my heart pumpin` fire, good till the last drop Never wanna stop cause it was good till the last drop I`d wake up in another daze, hopin` money`s gonna come my way Knew it was wrong, but it felt so right, I couldn`t face the fact I`d be the one to stab you in the back Never could get my fill, it was always, shoot to kill Using friends by the minute Who dares to play if you can`t win it Knew I was headin` for a fall Takin` a chance of losin` it all Good till the last drop, I`d walk the wire When it set my heart pumpin` fire, good till the last drop Never wanna stop cause it was good till the last drop

Another sleepless night, layin` in my bed and my mind is racin` From the past that I regret I gave my life to you on my own free will Now I`ll try to take it back with another pill It`s no use holdin` back things you can`t erase I tried so many times but it`s here to stay The darker side of yesterday, the darker side of yesterday Well seven years ago a man walked in the night And showed no mercy when he came and took your life Now I`m so empty, nothin` I can do The bastard got away and never left a clue I know he`s out there, he walks the streets again And I can`t take it, the pain and the rage From the darker side of yesterday, the darker side of yesterday It`s no use holdin` back, things you can`t erase I tried so many times but it`s here to stay The darker side of yesterday The darker side of yesterday The darker side of yesterday The darker side of yesterday The darker side of yesterday

Why should I have to be in a world not meant for me Screams a frightened boy he never gets a break But pays for his mistakes, can`t face another day And all the tears he swallows when he knows no one is there Watching in despair he`s tired of having to be Terrified, the fighting and sadness Terrified, hating the madness Walking the streets alone, thousand miles from home Hunger every night, razor in his hand Not afraid to take a stand, sees no hope in sight And all the tears he swallows when he knows no one is there Watching in despair he`s tired of having to be Terrified, the fighting and sadness Terrified, hating the madness And all the tears he swallows when he knows no one is there Watching in despair he`s tired of having to be Terrified, the fighting and sadness Terrified, hating the madness

Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Flashing lights against the sky Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor Twenty-five or six to four Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wond'ring how much I can take Should I try to do some more Twenty-five or six to four Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Twenty-five or six to four Twenty-five or six to four

Sweet innocence she stole my heart with a hunger in her eyes Little babe I`m yours no more, can see though your disguise Wicked love, wicked love With an evil walk and a magic talk She`s got me by the balls, little girls got me hooked Can`t break down the walls Wicked love, wicked love She`s a dream turned nightmare Everyone falls, she`ll make ya feel your the only one Don`t take the bitch for granted, she`s got everything ya need When she`s up and leavin` there`s laughin` while ya bleed Wicked love, wicked love Gonna take all your money, shoot ya down in flames She`ll be thinkin` it`s funny, another sucker in her little game Wicked love, wicked love She`s got class lot`s of flash Everyone falls, she`ll make ya feel you`re the only one She`s so bad, the fuckin` nag
I guess you give about as good as you get in these troubled times You seem to forget who you love or who you can trust But I know I just got to let you go and you won`t ever let it show I just made promises right from the start Lies in my secrets, whispered in the dark Should have known, I didn`t have a chance that way I don`t wanna let ya go, you had enough and you won`t take anymore Caught between the lies Don`t want to lose ya baby Now it`s lonely nights Caught between the lies Don`t want to lose ya girl Tried to talk it out, my last mistake Behind the changing smile, it`s harder to fake Had your mind made up, hangin` `round this town I know I just got to let you go Ya had enough you won`t take anymore Caught between the lies Don`t want to lose ya baby Now it`s lonely nights Caught between the lies Don`t want to lose ya girl It`s gonna be lonely Guess you had enough
