I still hang around neither
Lost nor found
Hear the lonely sound of music
In the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me yeah
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life it's the only way I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel for a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your
Way beneath the silver moon
Street life street life
Street life oh street life
Hmm yeah oh
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
There's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel for a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your
Way beneath the silver moon
Street life street life
Street life oh street life
Oh
Street life yeah street life
Street life oh street life
Yeah
Ohhh
