Paradise Alley, just another hangout I know
Paradise Alley, your name written on the wall
But that was a lifetime ago, and time it moves so slow
That was a lifetime ago
Once in a lifetime
Twice if you're lucky
Thrice if you're blessed
Four of a kind could change it all
I think I'll call
Eighteenth street basement, sub street underground
Where the light it fades to black, it turns to black
I knew the man I did not know the addict
I knew the man, I loved his heart, I loved his heart
I'll call you when I have a little extra time on my hands
Yeah I'll call you when I have a little extra dough to spend
Well, well, I'll call you when I have a little bitty hole in my heart
Yeah, I'll call you maybe tomorrow, maybe never
