Last night a lady came knocking at my door
knock knock open up, ain't seen her before
what's your name she said to me, you look the playful kind
I an the angel you require come to waste your time

So I took some time to cool out, chase away the fear
a man comes up to offer me some heavy smoking gear
I said no thanks a lot, I don't shoot that stuff
he looked mad, a gun came out, no ain't good enough
stop and look around, or maybe you won't get much older
people with ambition, there is danger round the corner

CHORUS
>>some people live on the streets by night
and calm with a charm of a gun
some people live on the streets alright
and calm with a charm of a gun<<

In this world we're living in, a very narrow line
separates sanity we cross it all the time
if by chance the lunatic, should get the final vote
this can be your serenade, I will row the boat
if you're passing through you better keep your engine running
keep from asking questions if you want to keep on living

CHORUS
>>some people live on the streets by night
and calm with a charm of a gun
some people live on the streets alright
and calm with a charm of a gun<<
