Streets Of Shame Lyrics by Wishbone Ash

Streets Of Shame Lyrics

    I was a long way from home, on the streets of shame,
    Where the women in cages play any kind of game.
    That's when i saw her, and i looked into her eyes -
    I don't speak the language, but i sure see the merchandise.
    Oh, what could i say? i was hot for you.
    When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do?
    Tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.

    She was a sight, she had a ring right through her nose.
    A feeling came over me from my head right down to my toes.
    Must have been the voodoo, or that trickery,
    Like something in a movie by rico fellini.
    Oh, what could i say? i was hot for you.
    When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do?
    Tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.

    Black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat four times)

    Well, i think she knew by now that i was no saint.
    Is this the holy cow, waiting 'till i retain?
    Left her angel line-up - i was begging her for more.
    Standing on the concrete, i'm going to break down the door.
    Oh, what could i do? i was hot for you.
    When you walk that way, what's a man supposed to do?
    Tell me where i draw the line, let me have it one more time.

    Black halter, walk the streets of shame. (repeat and fade)
