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
