[Verse 1]
I'm kicking off from centrefield
A question of bein' down for the game
One-shot deal don't matter
And the other one's the same
Oh, my friend, I see you
Want you to come through, all right
And they're standing in the shadows
Where the streetlights all turn blue

[Verse 2]
She's leaving Pan-American
Suitcase in her hand
I said her brothers and her sisters
Are all on Atlantic sand
She's screaming through the alleyway
I hear the lonely cry, why can't you?
And her batteries are corroded
And her hundred-watt bulb just blew (Hey, hey)

[Chorus]
La la la la la la, hey hey
La la la la la
All right, la la la la la la
La la la la la
[Verse 3]
She used to hang out down at Miss Lucy's
Every weekend they would get loose
Now Ada was a straight clear case of
Havin' taken in too much juice
It was outside, and it was outside
Just the nature of the person
Now all you got to remember
After all, it's all show biz

[Chorus]
La la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
La la la la la la
Hey, la la la la la

[Verse 4]
We're just screaming through the alleyway
I hear her lonely cry, ah why can't you?
And they're standing in the shadows
Canal Street lights all turn blue
And they're standing in the shadows
Where the streetlights all turn blue
And they're standing in the shadows
Down where the streetlights all turn blue (Hey, hey)
