Street Life - Lyrics by Roxy Music


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...
