(ferry)

Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They´re always calling on my telephone
When i pick it up there´s no one there
So i walk outside just to take the air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you´ll see, who you might meet
This brave new world´s not like yesterday –
It can take you higher than the milky way
Now i´m blinded i can’t really see – yeah
No more bright lights confusing me – no
Don´t ask me why i´m feeling blue
’cause loving you is all i can do
Hey good-looking boys – gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind,
They can make you feel like you´re losing your mind
Street life
Street life
Street life
What a life
Back to nature boys – vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it´s wrong or right
Education is an important key – yes
But the good life´s never won by degrees – no
Pointless passing through harvard or yale
Only window shopping – it’s strictly no sale
Week end starts friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
– and that´s really something…
