Between the store front shadows
No, nobody baby
The kid's in shock up and down the block
It's like this
Nobody owes you nothin'
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
But if you choose to stay
They say it can't be won
Keep your feet and be on guard
Nobody
The hearts are hard and the times are tough
Selling day for night
The way the game is run
Nobody hands you any guarantee
Nobody
It's okay
It's only time on the boulevard
Under the neon light
Everybody walks right by like
Nobody rides for free
They set the young ones up
Down at the golden cup
Make it pay, baby
And the street lights glow
It's alright
Yeah, yeah, baby
They don't know
Nobody knows you
The folks are home playing beat the clock
It's the way it is
And time passes slow
Hey hey, baby, you got to watch the street
They're safe or something
You wind up playing anyway
Nobody shows you what they're thinking
Down on the boulevard the night's enough
