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
Street life Street life Street life Oh, street life
