Verse 1

    I dig the sound of the  old street cars

Verse 1

    Hooker's perfume and    the shabby bars

Verse 1

    That old cop who           busted me

Verse 1

    Never forgot my name

Verse 1

    I dig the summer and the sticky sheets

Verse 1

    The traffic and the litter and the jukebox beats

Verse 1

    The night winds stir    the old ghosts

Verse 1

    And they haunt those less likely

Pre-Chorus

  They cry out loud and sound their warning   Your legends won't survive the morning

Chorus

   light                                       Oh  they try

Chorus

                  Back on the streets       Back on the streets

Verse 2

    Now over in the corner stands Louie's Bar

Verse 2

    The names have all been changed and Louie's pictures in the frame

Verse 2

    Back on the streets  he's in the hall of fame

Verse 2

    So there you have your legends boy

Verse 2

    Agnes lives alone on 42nd street

Verse 2

    Badgered by a fat man's memory

Verse 2

    Back on the streets she won't get too far

Verse 2

    Gettin' riddled  in the dark

Pre-Chorus

   She cry's out loud and sounds a warning  Her memory won't    survive the morning

Chorus

   light                                       Oh  but she tries

Chorus

                  Back on the streets       Back on the streets

Chorus

   In a world that's sometimes cold   Where all is bought and sold like clothes we outgrow

Chorus

                Oh love is patient and it's kind  It never looks behind or changes its

Chorus

    mind                                             Woah      Ho    Yeah alright Yeah

Chorus

                                                Oh  they try

Chorus

                  Back on the streets       Back on the streets

Chorus

   They die                                     Oh  how they lie

Chorus

   They die                                     Oh  how they try

Chorus

                  Back on the streets       Back on the streets

Chorus

   They lie they lie they lie they lie they lie

Chorus

                  Back on the streets       Back on the streets

Chorus

   They lie

Chorus

                  Back on the streets       Back on the streets
