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           Fm7  Fm7

You're who you think you are            Bbm7 Bbm7


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

Your song is always sung                  [Verse]
