Dapper Street Lyrics - The Nits

Give me the sombre city highroads 

The clouds are framed by attic windows 

Those are the words I long to hear 

But when I walk I keep my tears from falling 

And if you don't know where to go 

You're lost in a dead end street 

The houses fall down every day 

But maybe someday I'll keep this house from falling 

This is the street where I was living 

This is the square where I was fighting 

Nobody fears the ball and chain 

I feel the tears my memory lane is falling 

And still I don't know where to go 

I'm lost in a misty town 

No poetry in dead end street 

They tear all the houses down 

When you walk in Dapperstreet 

When you live in Dapperstreet 

Now it rains on broken windows 

The streets are always wet 

Through all the empty alleys wind blows 

You're never coming back 

When you live in Dapperstreet 

Give me the sombre city highroads

The clouds are framed by attic windows 

Those are the words I long to hear 

But when I walk I keep my tears from falling 

And if you don't know where to go 

You're lost in a misty town 

No poetry in dead end street 

They tear all the houses down 

When you walk in Dapperstreet 

When you live in Dapperstreet 

Now it rains on broken windows 

The streets are always wet 

Through all the empty alleys wind blows 

You're never coming back 

When you live in Dapperstreet 

City crime one grey morning 

Blissfuly happy I'm walking 

City crime one grey morning 

Blissfuly happy I'm walking 

City crime one grey morning 

Blissfuly happy I'm walking 

Suddenly happy in Dapperstreet
