Streetlife

Randy Crawford The Crusaders

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
