Because there's no place I can go
Street life
And it's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thoundand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You let the people see
Just who you want to be
And every night you shine just like a super star
That's how the life is played
A ten cent Masquerade
You dress, and walk, and talk you're who you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel and 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
Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon
I play the street life Because there's no place I can go Street life And it's the only life I know Street life And there's a thoundand parts to play Street life Until you play your life away You let the people see Just who you want to be And every night you shine just like a super star That's how the life is played A ten cent Masquerade You dress, and walk, and talk you're who you think you are Street life You can run away from time Street life For a nickel and 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 Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon And if you keep it young Your song is always sung Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon Explain Request ×
