Lyrics Roxy Music – Street Life

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…
