Rainstorm, brainstorm, faces in the maelstromHuddle by the puddles in the shadows where the drains runHot dogs, wet clogs, clicking up the sidewalkDisappearing into the booze shopRainbow queues stand down by the newsstandWaiting for the late showPin ball, sin hall, minds in free fallChocolate colored ladies making eyes through the smoke pallSoho, needless to sayI'm alone on your streets on a Friday eveningI've been here all of the dayI'm going nowhere with nowhere to goFootball supporters, they're taking the watersThey're looking round for the twilight daughtersNon stop strip club, pornographic bookshopCome into the back and take your time and have a good lookOld man laughs with flowers in his hairNewspaper headlineMiddle East DeadlineJazz musicians are down on the breadlineSoho, needless to sayI'm alone on your streets on a Friday eveningI've been here all of the dayI'm going nowhere with nowhere to goSoho feeds the needs and hides the deeds, the mind that bleedsDisenchanted, downstream in the nightSoho hears the lies, the twisted cries, the lonely sighsTill she seems lost in dreamsThe sun goes down on a neon eonThough you'd have a job explaining it to Richard Coeur de LionAnimation, bar conversation, anticipation, disinclinationPoor old Wino turns with dust in his eyesBegs for the dregs from the bottom of the kegs, manYou've never seen a lady lay down and spread her legs likeSoho, needless to sayI'm alone on your sheets on a Friday eveningI've been here all of the dayI'm going nowhere with nowhere to goSoho, needless to sayI'm alone on your streets or am I dreaming?I've been here all of the dayI'm going nowhere with nowhere to go
