Neil Young - Devil's Sidewalk lyrics

Devil's Sidewalk

Neil Young

"when the red light shines

On the streets of hate

Where the devil dines

Who knows what he ate

It's a simple thing

Trying to stay afloat,"

The captain said

Without his boat

"some things are getting better

Other things a little worse

It's a situation

Much like a curse

It's the devil's sidewalk greendale

It's the devil's door greendale

I try to avoid it," greendale

Said the captain of the shore greendale

"there's a garden growing greendale

And a million weeds greendale

With no way of knowing greendale

Who has done which deed" greendale

"that's an honest tale,"

Said the helmsman to the mate,

"about a woman delicious

And a matter of fate"

Big wheel's still rolling

Down on me

One thing i can tell you

Is you got to be free

John lennon said that

And i believe in love

I believe in action

When push comes to shove

"who cares what you believe,"

Said the captain amazed,

"if you stood in my shoes

Your eyes would be glazed"

So my fair damsel greendale

Won't you take your leave greendale

Are you headed for the country greendale

Where you wear the green sleeve greendale

And the children laugh greendale

And the old folks sing greendale

And the church bells toll greendale

For a miraculous thing greendale

Where the big red furnace greendale

Just glows and glows greendale

Where the big heart beats greendale

Where the big wheel rolls greendale
