Lyrics
Scarecrows painted up like dolls Hemmed between the concrete walls Didn't have too far to fall From where they started out Beneath the streetlights' masking glare The stillness of the midnight air The quiet of the passing stare The car that turns about The empty streets this time of night The ever-changing traffic light You stand there higher than a kite Too high in your high heels You stroke your hair and stand demure As if you really weren't sure If you're the catch or you're the lure But I know you know the deal The midnight world was passing by I crossed the street and caught your eye In a voice as hard as nails you sighed "Do you want some company?" "No, thanks," I said and crossed the road Then I watched you in the street below Among the cars that move so slow Through the streets of Calgary
