Street Life

I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Street life and 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

You let the people see 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
You dress, you walk and talk, you're who you think you are

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

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

Mmm, yeah
Mmm, yeah

I play the street life because there's no place I can go
Street life and 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, oh

Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life

Yeah, ooh
Mhm
Yeah
