Destiny Street Songtext
von Richard Hell & the Voidoids

I was walking down the street today
When I stepped off the curb into ten years ago
It was ten years past and I saw myself at the age of twenty-one
Looking right back at the man I′ve now become
I scared myself, I was horrified
But elated too
Like I'd escaped from ten years′ shell
I'd never known was full of hell


Instantly I realized that this had happened to me once before
When I was the younger guy
And now I'd have to live it through once more
Yes, I seduced myself
I took me home
I whispered if only I could make
The younger guy feel less alone

I was playing with myself
We were playing house
Pretending we could hide inside the past and future
To avoid our present self
I loved myself so much that day
I thought that I could trick my fate
I took the fall for ten years′ time
Thinking it′d be a pleasant wait

Yes, down on Destiny Street today
I found out twice
That playing for the past or future
Is playing with a fool's pair of dice
