lyrics

Union Street
words and music John Lester

Alice went to the movies
But she couldn't afford the show
She's waiting for the people and their pocket change
They're floating out of the film world
They're flowing all around this girl
But they're unaware
They remain unaware
Of Alice ever being there
Living out on Union Street

Louis calls me the carpenter
But that's what he would do
If not for the bullets of the Viet Cong
That cut him down in a field one day
Left him as a debt for society to pay
For Uncle Sam
But thirty-five years and Uncle Sam
Is saying Louis who
He's living out on Union Street

So many voices we try not to hear
So many lives that just seem to disaapear
But they don't disappear
No they don't disappear
They're living out on Union Street

That one you better stand clear of
I think he's got an evil steak
His story's one you don't ever want to know
A spirit caught him and it won't let go
Now he's Lucifer's little side show
And he wears it on his sleeve
For everyone to see
Right down on Union Street

He's living out on Union Street
Can't help living out on Union Street
Living out on Union Street
