Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 yeah
[Verse 2]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
[Verse 3]
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
'Cause it's the only life I know
[Verse 4]
Street life
There's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
[Verse 5]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
[Verse 6]
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel or a dime
[Verse 7]
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
[Verse 8]
You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a super star
[Verse 9]
That's how my life has played
A ten-cent masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk
You're who you think you are
[Verse 10]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
[Verse 11]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
[Verse 12]
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
'Cause it's the only life I know
[Verse 13]
Street life
Well there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
Mm-hmm
[Verse 14]
Street life, street life
Yeah, yeah
Street life, street life
[Verse 15]
Yeah yeah yeah
Street life, street life
Mm-hmm
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
