and Backstreets from about the time that I first started hearing his music:

One soft infested summer
me and Terry became friends
Trying in vain to breathe the fire
we was born in
Catching rides to the outskirts
tying faith between our teeth
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house
getting wasted in the heat
And hiding on the backstreets,
hiding on the backstreets
With a love so hard
and filled with defeat
Running for our lives at night
on them backstreets
Slow dancing in the dark
on the beach at Stockton's Wing
Where desperate lovers park
we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
Huddled in our cars
waiting for the bells that ring
In the deep heart of the night
to set us loose from everything
to go running on the backstreets,
running on the backstreets
We swore we'd live forever
on the backstreets we take it together
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
where dancers scraped the tears
Up off the street dressed down in rags
running into the darkness
Some hurt bad some really dying at night
sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying
blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
you can blame it all on me Terry
It don't matter to me now
when the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing left to say
but I hated him
and I hated you when you went away
Laying here in the dark
you're like an angel on my chest
Just another tramp of hearts
crying tears of faithlessness
Remember all the movies, Terry,
we'd go see
Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes
we thought we had to be
And after all this time to find
we're just like all the rest
Stranded in the park and forced to confess
To hiding on the backstreets,
hiding on the backstreets
We swore forever friends
on the backstreets until the end
Hiding on the backstreets,
hiding on the backstreets
