©Joe Jaunty 2010 (original song written in 1990)

Man, I was walkin´down that street-of-loneliness
maybe You walked there too?
It´s sometimes called the Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
I guess You heard about it too...

I saw an old woman starin´down a garbage can
searching for her shambled life
And the Community Disposal hired men took it
and drove away – just like that...

The vino´s down Second Avenue they´re singing;
"La-di-da-di-da"
They´re openin´up another bottle of Free-Your-Spirit
and they´re havin´a good-good time

But just moments away, the liquor runs dry
and they´re again surrounded by reality
Lookin´for somethin´that makes them feel right
just disappear for a while...

They´re not that different from us
they´re not a different kind
They just happened to stand in the wrong line
when good fortune was handed out
and now they´re findin´out -
there´s no way back!

Ooh – it´s a dead end – a dead end allright...

I saw this girl swayin´down that same street
thinkin´to myself;
"she looks kinda´familiar"
Couldn´t quite place the face, but I knew that
I had seen her in another time or space
(or maybe it was just a trick of my mind?)

I went in a daytime-hardcore-moviesalong
(the show was really nothin´worth)
On the WideScreen I saw her again -
someone screwing her from behind -
she was absolutely dead in her eyes...

I wonder what happened to her
a part of me told me that she was allright
But those marks on her arms they told a different story,
like a sign saying; "I Want Out!"

Ooh – it´s a dead end – a dead end allright...

Man, I was walkin´down that street-of-emptiness
Hey – do You walk there too?
