Letra da Música Last Tango on 16th Street de Boz Scaggs

Selling late night transfers, try to make a play
The people with the answers don't often pass this way
Starting from Dolores all the way to Three
It's the last tango on 16th Street

The later that it gets, the meaner that it looks
There's a lot to learn out here not found in books
We gotta solve the winter rain, watch out for the heat
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Same old people begging quarters, stretching out their hands
Vendors selling flores from a plastic can
Some are poor but honest, others lie and cheat
Well, it's the last tango on 16th Street

All the homeless helpless need a place to stay
Asking you for spare change, don't know what to say
Gypsy plays a melody, a broken tooth, just smile so sweet
At the last tango on 16th Street

Same old song, I know you heard it many times before
Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war
Just make sure you're careful where you place your feet
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Some of them don't see so good when they leave the bars
Talking loud and ugly, step in front of cars
If you're holding valuables it pays to be discrete
'Cause it's the last tango on 16th Street

Dodge between the hookers, aim between their thighs
Full moon shines above the bay, you can see it in their eyes
Past the Capp Street dogleg, your heart might skip a beat
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

It's the last tango on 16th Street
It's the last tango on 16th Street
It's the last tango on 16th Street
