Cat Stevens - 18th Avenue (Kansas City Nightmare) lyrics

Down the road to the eighteenth avenue

And the people I saw were the people I know

And they all came down to take a view

Oh the path was dark and borderless

Down the road to the eighteenth avenue

And it stung my tongue to repeat the words

That I used to use only yesterday

Meanings just dropped to the ground

I tried to remember what I thought

And what I used to say

"Don't let me go down" no don't let me go

Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside

The empty waste of another day

Memories were blank to my eyes

The fire and the glory of that night

Seemed safely locked away

Too hungry to rise. Too hungry to

Well I rode a while, for a mile or so

Down the road to the eighteenth avenue

And the people I saw were the people I know

And they all came down to take a view

Oh the path was dark and borderless

Down the road to the eighteenth avenue

But my head felt better as I turned the car

And the airport slowly came to view

One mile said the sign

Checked my bags and made it straight to end gate 22

Made it just in time, boy you've made it just in time
