I don't like to live alone on the avenue
I can't go back to bein' straight
I've seen the gutter view

Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novocaine lips
Is it day or night? White flowers weep
In their warm, dust sleep
And it's dog eat dog tonight

Back door to insanity
Was ripped from their throat
Street wide hustlers and six string masters
Look cold in their overcoats

Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novocaine lips
Is it day or night? White flowers weep
In their warm, dust sleep
And it's dog eat dog tonight, yeah, uh

Oh, oh, yeah

Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novocaine lips
Is it day or night? White flowers weep
In their warm, dust sleep
And it's dog eat dog tonight
