Into the night on heels I stumble

Like a star about to shoot

Catch me down the avenue like

A dandy lion parachute



Release the hounds, chase my tail and

Treat me like renegade

I'm as patient as a chain-reaction

But I am not afraid



We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike

Going away, you know what it feels like

I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro

The rocks in my shoes won«t dig into my feet

Free of the promises that I can«t keep

I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro



No matter what you say

I can't shake off this fling



Into the night I paint the city

In the colors of my eyeshade

Walking with a papertiger

I am not afraid



We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike

Going away, you know what it feels like

I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro

The rocks in my shoes won't dig into my feet

Free of the promises that I can't keep

I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro



No matter what you say

I can't shake off this fling

No matter what you do

I can't shake off this fling



The number of tears you cry equals the number of tears you dry

I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
