Roxy Music - Street Life lyrics

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 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 life

Back to nature boys Vassar 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
