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