Dark weekends in the sun out on Chelsea Road
  Descending the stairs, Frankie, my one
  Check your makeup in the mirror c'mon babe let's go
  We'll dance 'round this dirty town 'til the night is all done
  Let all the finer things sleep alone tonight
  Let all the minor kings lose their thrones tonight
  Don't worry about us, baby, we'll be alright
    Well everybody's dying, this town's closing down
  They're all sittin' down at the courthouse waiting for 'em to take the flag down
  I see strange flashes in the sky up above
  Gonna spend the night at the drive-in with the one that I love
  At dusk the stars all appear on the screen
  Yeah, just like they do each night in my dreams
  But tonight's no dream, Frankie, I can feel myself too
  Well now and forever my love is for you
    Walk softly tonight little stranger
  Yeah into these shadows we're passing through
  Talk softly tonight, little angel
  You make all my dream worlds come true
    Well lately I've been standing out in the freezing rain
  Readin' them want ads out on Chelsea Road
  I'm winging down the street in search of new games
  Hustling through these nightlights' diamond glow
  Well Frankie I don't know what I'm gonna find
  Maybe nothing at all, maybe a world I can call mine
  Shining like these streetlights down here on the strand
  Bright as the rain in the palm of your hand
    Walk softly tonight, little stranger
  Into the shadows where lovers go
  Talk softly to me, little angel
  Whisper your secrets so soft and low
