We had all been to heaven
But no one really died
We just went and shut the crazy world outside
So we ran in the darkness
'Til the morning light arrived
And we felt ourselves so lucky to be alive
The sirens called us out on the street
The cold wind knocked us down to our knees
All the good times were stolen
On the streets just a soulin', soulin'
Like a stone, we were rollin'
On the streets, just a soulin', soulin'
Out in the night, feelin' just right again
Well, the girl was such a mystery
And the day was never done
We were anticipating what was to come
So if the talk wasn't easy
At least the feeling was so right
In the deep blue persuasiveness of the night
And if you thought of changin' your mind
Somethin' else was easy to find
All the good times were stolen
On the streets just a soulin', soulin'
Like a stone, we were rollin'
On the streets, just a soulin', soulin'
Out in the night, feelin' just right again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So the nights kept us runnin'
While the days just kept us down
And the thought of leavin' kept us around
