Lyrics

we'd run down the avenue window shoppin like most fools
wishin we could have that thing, if we lost we wouldn't miss

excuse me all to hell but madam mozel
watcha say we duck into the stoupe of this bodegas n steal a kiss

we'd swim in the daffodils that sprung each spring
up on the hills where love, lust and affection run wild

wishin on a star holdin out our arms
watching the incoming dreams of some lucky child

what if love was a lullaby n hope were tears in our eyes?
what if enough was somethin that could be had
n yesteryear wasn't nothin we didn't miss?

will we still be runnin round full of dreams that slow us down
makin reality that much harder to grip?

could we foot the bill for a window sill that only
kissed the sun's light n the moon's lips?

what if love was a lullaby n hope were tears in our eyes?
what if enough was somethin that could be had
n yesteryear wasn't nothin we didn't miss?

yesteryear wasn't nothin

we were born again losers desparately wanting to fit in
Avenue bruiser tragically trying to be hip

we were torn between two generations
one on the left the other the right

that somehow divided this nation that used to be yours n mine
remember prine's rhyme

if pretty is as pretty does tell me what do pretty do?
'cept sit around on her ass n' i say this because
pretty done nothin for you
