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 cards to play   Street life, until you play your life away      You let the people see   Just who you wanna be   And every night you sang   Just like a superstar   The type of life that's played   A temptin' masquerade   You dress and walk and talk   You're who you think you are      Street life, you can run away from time   Street life, for a nickel, for 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      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 cards to play   Street life, until you play your life away      You let the people see   Just who you wanna be   And every night you sang   Just like a superstar   The type of life that's played   A temptin' masquerade   You dress and walk and talk   You're who you think you are      Street life, you can run away from time   Street life, for a nickel, for 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   Oh, street life   Yeah, street life   Street life   Oh, street life
