Oh, the wind 1) down

the cold 2) street tonight

and the people they 3) dancing

to the music vibe

and the boys 4) the girls

with the 5) in their hair

and the shy tormented 6) sit

way over there

and the songs they get 7)

each one better than 8) .

�

CHORUS (x2)

And you're singing the 9) ,

(10 this is the life

and you 11) up in the morning

and your head feels twice the 12)

So you're heading down the 13)

and you're waiting 15) Jimmy's front door

but nobody's in and nobody's home 16) four.

So you're 17) there with nothing to do
