Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I still hang around
Neither lost nor found
I hear the lonely sounds
Music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me
[Verse 2]
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
[Verse 3]
You let those people see you
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
That's how the life is played
A ten cent masquerade
Your dress, your walk, your talk
You're who you think you are
[Verse 4]
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel or a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
[Verse 5]
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairytale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
If you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
Beneath the silver moon
[Verse 6]
Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life
[Verse 7]
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
[Verse 8]
Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life
[Verse 9]
Street life
Oh, street life
Street life
I play street life
