Old Road Sycamore Street

from The Nickle Ride by Bill White

/

lyrics

She lives in an abandoned hotel near the carnival grounds
On old road sycamore street
Shes got a part time job
Making sure the children don’t fall off the carousel
But I remember her walking in the London rain
We were walking all night long dreaming of the world to come

But now shes living in that crummy hotel near the carnival grounds
On old road Sycamore street
Shes got a circle of friends they meet in a sideshow tent
Pulling sheets over their heads getting plastered in a big round bed
But I remember her saying lips that touch liquor will never touch mine
She left her ideals behind for a Nixonion state of mind

And she is living in a haunted hotel near the carnival grounds
On old road sycamore street
Last time I saw her was in Lincoln park
On a tear gas night when everything just broke apart
But I remember when she and her sisters said yes to boys who said no
And we said hell no we aint gonna go

Someone told me she was living in that old hotel
near the carnival grounds on old road sycamore street.
I said that can’t be true nobody has lived there since 1973
He said that’s right it’s just a place old ghosts go
What they do in there we will never know
But I remember a silver night when we were walking in the rain
Talking about the days to come the days that never came
