on the streets tonight, o yeah on the streets tonight
on the streets tonight, that`s where i`ll be found
`cause i don`t wanna go home
i want to hang out with my friends, i want to hang with you
where the city is at peace at 5 AM
as over the rooftops rises the sun
yeah we`ve been here all night long,
lost in endless talk & our love songs
there are nights when these sidewalks feel like home
and the bright street light is a crystal chandelier
sipping a cup of coffee until the bakery opens...its doors
then a fresh baked loaf of bread, and it`s off to bed...yeah
where i dream that i am on the streets at night
and i`ve never felt more perfect or in tune
with the city, with my friends, with the cops on the corner...yeah
then a stray red dog sits down right next to me
and explains the finer points of fresco painting
he`s been studying six years ,
he says, "that`s 42 years experience for humans!"
wake up in the afternoon
pick up the phone, i`m dialing you
i`ll catch you at six for some chinese and some 80`s karaoke
and then we`ll set up on sidewalks
where we`ll sing our songs
all night long....
