This Street, That Man, This Life Lyrics - Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies

This street holds it's secrets like a cobra holds it's kill 

This street minds it's business like a jailer minds his jail 

That house there is haunted 

That door's a portal to hell 

This street holds it's secrets very well 

That man wears his skin like a dancer wears her veils 

That man stalks his victims like a cancer stalks a cell 

That man's soul has left him his heart's as deadly as a rusty nail 

That man sheds his skin like a veil 

Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule 

Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose 

All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe 

And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place

This life holds it's secrets like a sea shell holds the sea, 

Soft and distant calling like a fading memory 

This life has it's victories but it's defeats tear so viciously 

This life holds it's secrets like the sea
