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