Roxy Music - Street Life lyrics

(ferry)

Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah

They´re always calling on my telephone

When I pick it up there´s no one there

So I walk outside just to take the air

Come on with me cruising down the street

Who knows what you´ll see, who you might meet

This brave new world´s not like yesterday -

It can take you higher than the milky way

Now i´m blinded I can't really see - yeah

No more bright lights confusing me - no

Don´t ask me why i´m feeling blue

'cause loving you is all I can do

Hey good-looking boys - gather around

The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down

All those lies can be so unkind,

They can make you feel like you´re losing your mind

Street life

Street life

Street life

What a life

Back to nature boys - vasser girls too

Watch what you say, or think, or do

Continental-style strasse girls might

But you know exactly if it´s wrong or right

Education is an important key - yes

But the good life´s never won by degrees - no

Pointless passing through harvard or yale

Only window shopping - it's strictly no sale

Week end starts friday soon after eight

Your jet black magic helps you celebrate

You may be stranded if you stick around

- and that´s really something...
