Freak Street Songtext
von The Waterboys

I was zero to her
She was fateful to me
I became a hero to her
Then she was grateful to me
Then Emperor Nero to her
And she was hateful to me

It happened on Freak Street
It happened on Freak Street
It happened on Freak Street (Freek Street)

I floated with her
I drifted with her
Showboated with her
And grifted with her
Was misquoted by her
And uplifted by her

It happened on Freak Street
It happened on Freak Street
It happened on Freak Street (Freek Street)


"Man I used to see her dressed in such elegant clothes"

I no longer cared
But I was still keeping score
Like a rat in a snare
I came back for more
Bewitched by her hair
And the perfume she wore
She left me standing there
In a second-hand store

It happened on Freak Street
It happened on Freak Street
It happened on Freak Street (Freek Street)

It happened on Freak Street
Freek Street
Freek Street
Freek Street
Freek Street
Freek Street
Freek Street
