Green Flower Street

Uptown, it's murder

Out in the street

Uptown, it's murder

Out in the street

That's where I found my mandarin plum

That's where you'd be if you found one

Where the nights are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on

Green Flower Street

Since May

There's trouble

Most every night

Since May

There's trouble

Most every night

(Trouble every night)

Well once we danced our sweet routine

It reeks of wine and kerosene

Where the nights are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on

Green Flower Street

There's a special place

For lovers

One we understand

Down where neon bends

In daylight sky

In that sunny room

She soothes me

Cools me with her fan

We're drifting

A thousand years roll by

Lou Chang, her brother

He's burning with rage

Lou Chang, her brother

He's burning with rage

(Lou Chang burns with rage)

I'd like to know what's on his mind

He says "Hey buddy, you're not my kind"

Where the nights are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on

Green Flower Street

Where the nights, are bright

And joy is complete

Keep my squeeze on

Green Flower Street
