Never Street
By Robert W. Cluney
I live on Never Street
In old Heartbreak Hotel
Where the ladies of the night bring their prey
I live with the winos' smell
Never Street is a cold old street
Even on the warmest day
Then at night it's a place of fright
That makes you turn away
I have walked on Never Street
The street that never ends
And watched the devil steal the souls
Of a thousand troubled men
He preyed on the weak and sick of mind
And lead them to the gates of hell
Where they will lay dead drunk to the end of their days
In a room in Heartbreak Hotel
Some day I'll check out of that hotel
On the street that never ends
I try to find some peace of mind
And start life over again
This is the street that never ends
And a story I know so well
For I know I'll spend the rest of my days
In old Heartbreak Hotel
