(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
You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The type of life that's played
A ten cent masquerade
You dress you walk you 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
