Street Life Survivor

A corner lamp post is home a fiery steel drum keeps 'em warm eyes that never say goodnight cigarettes that hold 'em tight up the nose in the arm down the hatch drugs and alcohol just dont match everyones looking to be free feel'n cool such a fool in there eyes the silence cries all these people walking the streets so many distorted visions the cry of help just echos on so many say escape is impossible a no way out street situation misguided and misinformed street life survivor all the vibes are right her fish net stockings look outa sight the grin of your appetite life and death penetrate the night teenage runaway and so afraid used and abused pregnant or confused the list goes on 'n on on the streets trust is rare when your the shadows prayer
