Waterboys Freak Street
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
