Van Halen - Mean Street lyrics
[Van Halen - Mean Street lyrics]
At night I walk this stinkin' street
Past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces
And I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen
This is home this is Mean Street
Yes ah, this is home the only one I know
And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what'd ya think is nothing
Might be something after all
Now you know this ain't no through street
The end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here
They're the living dead
Come on down down to Mean Street
They're dancing now, oh out on Mean Street
Dance, baby
This hole is here and now, my friend
It ain't 'once upon a time'
It's all over but the shouting
I've come to take what's mine
We're searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen
This is home this is Mean Street
Yes ah, this is home only one I know
(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
(This is Mean Street) In this
Desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you
From hunted into hunter
(This is Mean Street) Go
And hunt somebody down
Wait a minute
(This is home) Somebody said, "Fair Warning
Lord! (This is Mean Street) Lord
Strike that poor boy down!"
Past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces
And I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen
This is home this is Mean Street
Yes ah, this is home the only one I know
And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what'd ya think is nothing
Might be something after all
Now you know this ain't no through street
The end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here
They're the living dead
Come on down down to Mean Street
They're dancing now, oh out on Mean Street
Dance, baby
This hole is here and now, my friend
It ain't 'once upon a time'
It's all over but the shouting
I've come to take what's mine
We're searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen
This is home this is Mean Street
Yes ah, this is home only one I know
(This is home) See, a gun is real easy
(This is Mean Street) In this
Desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you
From hunted into hunter
(This is Mean Street) Go
And hunt somebody down
Wait a minute
(This is home) Somebody said, "Fair Warning
Lord! (This is Mean Street) Lord
Strike that poor boy down!"
