All those lies, they can be so unkind
It's pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
'Cause loving you is all I can do
But the good life's never won by degrees, no
Street life, what a life?
Only window shopping, it's strictly no sale
You may be stranded if you stick around
Education is an important key, yeah
And no more bright lights confusing me, no
Street life, street life
This brave new world's not like yesterday
The sidewalk papers gutter, press you down
When I pick it up there's no one there
It can take you higher than the milky way
Weekend starts Friday soon after eight
Continental style, Strasse girls might
Street life, what a life?
So I walk outside just to take the air
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
Don't ask me, why I'm feeling blue
Hey good looking boys, gather around
Come on with me cruising down the street
Street life, street life
Back to nature boys, Vasser girls too
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
And now I'm blinded, I can hardly see, yeah
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind
Watch what you say or think, or do
