[Verse 1]
This town's dead tonight, I got no place to be
Moon is hung just right, shine like diamonds on these streets
Red Line wind me lonesome, it's cutting clean through my heart
In my window smoking while the midnight's setting in on Rogers Park

[Verse 2]
I come here with hopes and guess I came here with dreams
Now I'm all alone and I can't even get to sleep
So take my heart and break it in, send me back to the pines
I'm tired of lying awake at night, feel like I'm running out of time

[Chorus]
See my dreams before my eyes, shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake, punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets of Rogers Park

[Verse 3]
So shadow boys are bangin' and I hear them down in the streets
Corner girls are waiting for someone to take them off for keeps
Ain't no hope in healing them, ain't no prayer for the poor
And all that's lost in stealing, she can't hold me anymore

[Chorus]
See my dreams before my eyes, shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake, punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets of Rogers Park
[Refrain]
Oh, through the lonely streets of Rogers Park
