Street Life Lyrics - Roxy Music

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'd 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 

Street life, street life 

Street life, that's a life 

Back to nature boys, Vassar girls too 

(Street life) 

Watch what you say or think or do 

(Street life) 

Continental-style strasse girls might 

But you know exactly if it's wrong or right 

(What a life) 

(Street life) 

Education is an important key, yes 

(Street life) 

But the good life's never won by degrees, no 

(Street life) 

Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale 

Only window shopping, it's strictly no sale 

(That's a life) 

(Street life) 

Week end starts, Friday soon after eight 

(Street life) 

Your jet black magic helps you celebrate 

(Street life) 

You may be stranded if you stick around 

That's really something
