Streets of Fire (Live at Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ - Sep. 19, 1978) Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
When the night's quiet and you don't care anymore
Your eyes are tired and there's someone at your door
You realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and leave you stranded face to face with

[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire

[Verse 2]
I'm wandering, a loser down the track
And I'm lyin' but, babe, I can't go back
'Cause in that darkness I hear somebody call my name
When you realize how they tricked you this time
And it's all lies but I'm strung out on the wire 'cross

[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire, alright
[Verse 3]
I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
Don't look at my face
Don't come around my place
'Cause I'm strung out on the wire 'cross

[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets
Of
Fire

[Outro]
Streets
