[Verse 1]
The stars and the moon
Aren't where they're supposed to be
But this strange electric light
It falls so close to me
Love, I come to ride
High on that seasick rolling wave
And you know that I am just trying to get down

[Chorus 1]
Oh, the glorious sound
Oh, the one way street
But you can't get, can't get it down without crying

[Verse 2]
When I'm dressed in white send roses to me
I drink so much sour whiskey
I can't hardly see
And everywhere I've been there's a well that howls my name
From the one tiny sting to that vacant fame

[Chorus 2]
Oh, the deafening roar
Remember, that's called a one way street
And you can't get, can't get it down without crying
[Verse 3]
Through the mysteries of sight, you can't get out
In the psychotropic light, you can't get out
Love, I come to ride
High on that seasick rolling wave
That's the way that I fall trying to get out

[Chorus 3]
Oh, the glorious sound of the one way street
And you can't get, can't get it down without crying
Oh, the deafening roar
It's called a one way street
