danny o'keefe - the street lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
we’re leavin’ here, don’t turn back
it’s a dead end, kid, it’s a cul+de+sac
in a sultry rut you made the scene
now you’re all washed up but you can’t get clean

[chorus]
step into the future
step out of the past
nothing lasts

[post+chorus]
and just when you’re thinking
that you got ’em beat
they’ll open the door
put you out in the street again

[verse 2]
two+tone coupe de ville
and clothes that made you fit to k!ll
but they jack your dream like it was a joke
with a greasy hand and a constant stroke
like a dog on the corner can’t raise his head
you settled for liftin’ your leg instead

[chorus]
step into the future
step out of the past
nothing lasts
step into the future
step out of the past
nothing lasts
[post+chorus]
and just when you’re thinking
that you got ’em beat
they’ll open the door
put you out in the street again

[verse 3]
it’s midnight now on chicken row
where the streethearts wait for daddy+o
at the end of the line there are no stairs
and the future lurks in darkness there
sign on a wall i saw yesterday
said, “don’t forget the s.l.a.”

[chorus]
step into the future
step out of the past
nothing lasts, nothing lasts
step into the future
step out of the past
baby, nothing lasts

[post+chorus]
just when you’re thinking
maybe you got ’em beat
baby, they’ll open the door
put you out in the street again
[chorus]
step into the future
step out of the past
oh, nothing lasts, nothing
step into the future
step out of the past

[outro]
step into the future
one, two, three, four
