Street Life

Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah They're always calling on my telephone When I pick it up, there's no one there So I walk outside just to take the air Come on with me cruising down the street Who knows what you'd see, who you might meet This brave new world's not like yesterday It can take you higher than the Milky Way Now I'm blinded, I can't really see, yeah No more bright lights confusing me, no Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue 'Cause loving you is all I can do Hey, good-looking boys, gather around The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down All those lies can be so unkind They can make you feel like you're losing your mind Street life, street life Street life, what a life Street life, street life Street life, that's a life Back to nature boys, Vassar girls too (Street life) Watch what you say or think or do (Street life) Continental-style strasse girls might But you know exactly if it's wrong or right (What a life) (Street life) Education is an important key, yes (Street life) But the good life's never won by degrees, no (Street life) Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale Only window shopping, it's strictly no sale (That's a life) (Street life) Week end starts, Friday soon after eight (Street life) Your jet black magic helps you celebrate (Street life) You may be stranded if you stick around That's really something
