Waterboys - Freak Street Lyrics

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

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

- ""She was the most beautiful girl
In a radius of six miles""
- ""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
