Humboldt Ave

Went out walking just the other night

And fell in love with a dim street light

And when the moon casts her pale glow

Shes closer to me than any friend I've known

I'm in love with the streets, and the alleys

And the sidewalks and the freaks

I'm in love with the hot California breeze

At night, when shes holding on to me

Think I'll stay out all night

Cuz I get these nightmares all the time

At two o clock theres no people outside

So whats the use, whats the use

Theres nothing for me in the light

I took a stroll down ninth

And it took me all the way to the Liquor Bank

And then I crossed the street

Where the bums and the junkies would congregate

I can tell you stories about the ghosts on Humboldt Avenue

And as the years go by I'm wonderin if I am one too

Think I'll stay out all night

Cuz I get these nightmares all the time

At three o clock theres no people outside

So whats the use, whats the use

Theres nothing for me in the light

Think I'll stay out all night

Cuz I get these nightmares all the time

At four o clock theres no people outside

So whats the use, whats the use

Theres nothing for me in the light
