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 super star That's how the life is played a ten cent masquerade You dress, 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 fairytale 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 - Street life I play the streetlife, 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 - ooh Street life - Street life Street life - Street life
