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
Until you play your life away
You dress and walk and 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
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 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
