Sidewalks and Street Lights Songtext

von John Mellencamp

Homicide on the edge of town, and no one said it be easy
Sure has its ups and downs, and Garfield is laughing
Sitting in a dark room, making love with Sylvannia
No so called friends around, cigarettes and champagne
Gonna make me a big star, oh haven't you heard yet
Don't know how it's going to go, too young to tell
And if it's just my name, well hell I can change it
And if it's for the fame, I guess I better grab it fast
But it's just a dangerous game that you're playing, oow
And you play it so well, so let's play it again

Sidewalks and street lights sure make a pretty picture
Strangers in the night, are you going my way
You can drop me off at the corner, I can walk the rest of the way
It's not that far to the nearest star
And if it's for the money, hey why can't I have it
And if it's for the glory, I guess I better grab it fast
But it's just a dangerous game that you're playing, oow
And you play it so well, so let's play it again, oow
Let's play it again
