What were you doing there?
What were you doing down on 8th street?
Down where the hearts will bleed,
Just for the sake of bleeding.
Oh no, I musn't breathe a word.
I was once as you are now
With straight approach and crooked arrows.
Chorus:
No I cannot see your face,
Down in those dark cafes,
With all of those vacant people
Oh no, I shouldn't shun it all.
It sn't mine to harbor you.
No handout's worth the taking.
I know the hooks behind the words.
I've seen them offered up and burned.
No telling now who's needed.
(Chorus)
What were you doing there?
What were you doing down on 8th street?
Down where the hearts will bleed,
Just for the sake of bleeding.
(Chorus)
Maybe time han told us more
Than we need to know.
