"Sweet Avenue"

tasting you and rain I
walk down to the train
try not to look down
this day could someday be
an anniversary
everything is light and sound

facing forwards going slowly
wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I
stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow

now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right

thank you for making me
see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons
beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet

this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring

I'm a captain of industry
smoking famously
feet up on the windowsill
looking at all these trees I
feel affinity with
everything so soft and still

budding at my fingertips
touching you I start to bloom
alive with trains and passing ships
soft and sweet along your lips now
I go "oh wow"

thank you for taking me
from my monastery
I was dying to get out
with tears of gratitude
I like my latitude
cross town train to you

now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt worth it

like I deserved it

  • i luv this! :O) i watched it like 5 times yesterday and planning on at least 5 more today. i just wish the song itself didn't take me to such a melancholy place in my life. . . but then again, that's what makes it so powerful. thankees so much for uploading :O)

  • These photos need some Ken Burns effect.

  • good song.

    

  • i used to love this band in my highschool days. i think i might learn some of their songs to play at open mic night. lots of people im sure will find them interesting great lyrics and will have no idea who JTB is.
