I play the street life Because there's no place I can go Street life, it's the only way I know Street life And there's a thousand cards to play Until you play your life away You dress and walk and talk You're who you think you are Street life, you can run away from time Street life, for a nickel, for a dime Street life, but you better not get old 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 t 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
