lyrics

The alleyway was dark and she really wasn't that young
Her high heels made a clicking spark, she had a barbell through her tongue
And I gave her fifty smackers to do that trick you used to do
The bittersweet taste of freedom on Pacific Avenue

We went in through the back door into a den of Chinese art
For another fifty dollars she inked a dagger through a heart
She said, "Any other favors?" I said, "I need this one removed."
She took your name from off my shoulder on Pacific Avenue

Pacific Avenue, my darling used to wait for me
Kisses sweeter than cotton candy, tears saltier than the sea
On the ocean side there's an amusement ride where we held each other true
We thought it would last forever on Pacific Avenue

I stepped around the corner where I had my fortune read
The gypsy's eyes got big as saucers and her face was full of dread
She said, "You're never going to make it past the age of twenty-two!"
That's when I left and started drinking on Pacific Avenue

Pacific Avenue, my darling used to wait for me...

I'm shipping out in three days to fight on foreign soil
Kick some ass and take some names and trade my blood for oil
When I get home I'm going to kiss the ground and gas up the Malibu
And drive her 'til the wheels fall off on Pacific Avenue

Pacific Avenue, my darling used to wait for me...

Pacific Avenue, my little darling used to wait for me
Kisses sweeter than cotton candy, tears saltier than the sea
On the Ferris wheel she let me cop a feel and we would marvel at the view
Of the bright lights way below us on Pacific Avenue
