Secrets In The Street - Nils Lofgren

The neons are hot tonight baby

Light me up, take me in your arms

There’s so much we ought to learn baby

That ain’t in books or schools of charm

Ain’t in any university standin' right atop the law’s long arm

Out in the streets you can get a real view and hope is the charm

The secrets in the street are waiting to remind you

Secrets in the street, high hopes will never blind you

Secrets in the street, they’ll teach you about survival

Secrets in the street and not the self denial we’ve been sold

Been so uninspired and lonely

Been studying hard

The values of pain bottomed out, went waikin' at midnight

The streets breathed life

I danced with the rain

Gotta move my mind and heart from the celler

Out in the street where you get a real view

In the street where you find the real dreams

Know that some do come true

The secrets in the street are waiting to remind you

Secrets in the street, high hopes will never blind you

Secrets in the street, they’ll teach you about survival

Secrets in the street and not the self denial we’ve been sold

The secrets in the street are waiting to remind you

Secrets in the street, high hopes will never blind you

Secrets in the street, I’m talkin' 'bout survival

Secrets in the street and not the self denial we’ve been sold
