I stayed all night inside that ringin' bell
{?}
I got no sleep inside your heaven, your hell {?}
Cuz you was charming and that bell was chiming
I was dancing though the ticking of such terrible timing
If you'd left me alone on the sidewalk
Then at least I'd know just where I stand
But if caution gets caught in a gust of the wind
Then there ain't no use drawing a line in the sand
So this being the street where the show ends and your house begins
And ever since you kissed me
Well I've switched to drinkin' gin
And there ain't no amount of drinkin'
That could make my mind forget
Stayed all night inside that ringin' bell {?}
I know temptation better than I know myself
I've seen it flicker underneath your lashes
And if that's a fire then I'm bound for ashes
If you'd left me alone on the sidewalk
Then at least I'd know just where I stand
But if caution gets caught in a gust of the wind
Then there ain't no use drawing a line in the sand
So this being the street where the show ends and your house begins
And ever since you kissed me
Well I've switched to drinkin' gin
And there ain't no amount of drinkin'
That could make my mind forget
And there ain't no amount of trouble
That could make make my heart regret
