lyrics

Street rat, sinner, Sunday worshipper, mother's boy
Your conscience always writhing, sticky fingers in September heat
Oh, steam is rising, there's fire in the concrete, yeah
Every summer we shuffle, we hustle, we burn it down and bleed for money we never keep
I'm just a front street boy with back alley ways
And the part of me I lost seeps through like sweat stains
Tell me, where am I now?
Laughing and drinking with the lost and the never found

Ooo yeah, woah
I could be anyone
Speak truth to power, let the rain wash off the silence
Cuz right now it weighs a ton

Ooo yeah, woah
I could be anyone
Speak truth to power, let the rain wash off the silence
Cuz right now it weighs a ton

Aw yeah, Aw yeah, aw yeah

Get back, I'm worse than the place that I am running from
Can the devil get a soul clap?
Choirs of smoking harlots sing Ave Maria
The rapture in your bed picks me up at a quarter to five
I'm sorry I cannot stay
I'll whistle you tunes from the gutter, to let you know I'm alive
I'm just a front street boy with back alley ways
And the part of me I lost seeps through like sweat stains
Tell me, where am I now?
Laughing and drinking with the lost and the never found

Ooo yeah, woah
I could be anyone
Speak truth to power, let the rain wash off the silence
Cuz right now it weighs a ton

Ooo yeah, woah
I could be anyone
Speak truth to power, let the rain wash off the silence
Cuz right now it weighs a ton
