How Long Can These Streets Be Empty?

The devil got a chip on his shoulder
He caught me I was paying up
He got me I was stone cold sober
Somehow he still showed up
I've been running on an open road
Since those seven rainbows
I've been running to a future I might see

How long can these streets be empty?
How long can these streets be empty?
The honeysuckle's creeping like an animal
The tumbleweed has all blown out
I went to find food for my soul
Lord knows I'll soon be finding out

'Cos we've been waiting for a carnival
Gettin used to coloured waterfalls
We've been waiting for the future to appear
How long can these streets be empty?
How long can these streets be empty?
Love is a must

I crumble to dust
Just at the look in your eyes
Love come to rest
Upon my request
I'm not looking no no
But I've been running on an open road
Since those seven rainbows

I've been running to a future I might see
I've been waiting for a carnival
Getting used to coloured waterfalls
We've been waiting the future to appear
How long can these streets be empty?
