Dark weekends in the sun out on Chelsea Road

Descending the stairs, Frankie, my one

Check your makeup in the mirror c'mon babe let's go

We'll dance 'round this dirty town 'til the night is all done

Let all the finer things sleep alone tonight

Let all the minor kings lose their thrones tonight

Don't worry about us, baby, we'll be alright



Well everybody's dying, this town's closing down

They're all sittin' down at the courthouse waiting for 'em to take the flag down

I see strange flashes in the sky up above

Gonna spend the night at the drive-in with the one that I love

At dusk the stars all appear on the screen

Yeah, just like they do each night in my dreams

But tonight's no dream, Frankie, I can feel myself too

Well now and forever my love is for you



Walk softly tonight little stranger

Yeah into these shadows we're passing through

Talk softly tonight, little angel

You make all my dream worlds come true



Well lately I've been standing out in the freezing rain

Readin' them want ads out on Chelsea Road

I'm winging down the street in search of new games

Hustling through these nightlights' diamond glow

Well Frankie I don't know what I'm gonna find

Maybe nothing at all, maybe a world I can call mine

Shining like these streetlights down here on the strand

Bright as the rain in the palm of your hand



Walk softly tonight, little stranger

Into the shadows where lovers go

Talk softly to me, little angel
