"Street Life" lyrics

Wish everybody would leave me alone
Yeah
They're always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up there's no one there
So I walk outside just to take the air

Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
This brave new world's not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the milky way

Now I'm blinded I can really see
Yeah
No more bright lights confusing me
No
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
'Cause loving you is all I can do

Hey, good-looking boys, gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind

Street life
Street life
Street life
What a life

Street life
Street life
Street life
That's life

Back to nature boys—Vassar girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style Straße girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right

Education is an important key
Yes
But the good life's never won by degrees
No
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window-shopping. It's strictly no sale

Week end starts Friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
And that's really something...
