You've heard it said I taught the bird to fly One kiss from me and same can't say goodbye The plaGe you'lI find me when the sun goes down After hours, on the wrong side of town How many faces will I change today Take them to places where the shadows play That's where you'lI find me when the sun goes down After hours, on the wrong side of town Lulled by the promise of a broken dream
They all co me looking for the answers The question's never if and when; they fall from grace After all, it's just a matter of time Here comes another with a life to spare So young and innocent but I know that stare Just whistle "Parker's Mood"; I'l be there After hours, on the wrong side of town After hours, on the wrong side of town Stay away from the wrong side of town
