You let those people see  - Just who you wanna be

And every night you shine - Just like a superstar

The type of life that's played

A temptin' masquerade                [Intro] (x2)

You dress, you walk, you talk           Bbm7  Bbm7

You're who you think you are            D#m7 D#m7


Street life - You can run away from time [Chorus]

Street life - For a nickel or a dime

Street life - But you better not get old

Street life - Or you're gonna feel the cold


There's always love for sale   ╔═══════════════╗

A grown-up fairy tale          ║  Street Life  ║

Prince charming always smiles  ║ The Crusaders ║

Behind a silver spoon          ╚═══════════════╝

And if you keep it young

Your song is always sung                  [Verse]
