Back To The Streets

Back To The Streets
(for Patty)

The streets are out there calling
Come on back within our fold
Yeah, we have the rush you're looking for
And that someone for you to hold
Your head cries out "no not again"
But your body won't be denied
After the first hit you just don't care,
Trade the truth for another lie

There's a man who's out there waiting
For a price he'll have your time
And a one night stand will pay for
A cheap hotel and another line
Said he loved you yesterday
Will his line be the same tonight
Or wil he take off with your pride
Leave you cold in the morning light

White line chasing ... adrenaline racing ...
Running on dragon time
Pipe inhaling ... till you're sailing ...
But you're living on borrowed time
Hey, come back ... just come on back ...
Come on back and be with us
Come on back and join us baby ...
Back to the streets you said you loved,

The hardest choice now before you
But on which road will you tread ...
Will you take the straight and longer path
Or tomorrow wake up dead ...
And the shortest way to nowhere
Is down the lane that you once went
I only hope that all that's been
Is worth the price you had to spent
