Street Life Lyrics

(Originally by Randy Crawford)

I still hang around
neither lost nor found
Hear the lonely sound
of music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me, yeah

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
That's how the life is played
A ten cent masquerade
You're dressed, 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
