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....
