Here's my best stab at the lyrics. I've put my changes in CAPS. Pretty confident in most of them... but don't ask me what a "fathom boy" is!
The streets are open wide for a brand new adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the black leathered PUNKS crawling out of the basement
And hand in the tickets for the night, for the night
Gonna stay for a while, 'cause there's no chance to hide
Lay your MONEY right down for the thrill, for the thrill
You are free, you're alive and there's no time for regrets
You're alive, push the door, you're alive
And YOU HIT THE THRILL RIDE (or RIGHT?) for the kill
Though the place is so crowded
You feel so alone, 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For a nugget of fleeting bliss
Come on, come on, you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine
Since you're up with her, it feels like a sin
'cause the taste is much too sweet, it's much too sweet
And the MASSIVE DECAY of the city moves
It's where A FATHOM BOY'S ONLY A FLING, it's only a FLING
AND YOU CLAIM ALL ALONG YOU WON'T EVEN CALL
AND ITS TIME THAT YOU LEAVE THIS CARESS
BUT NOW YOU'RE JUST (a) POOR GUY IN THE ROAD
In an everlasting kiss, everlasting kiss
