Joey's On The Streets Again - The Boomtown Rats[00:00:00]

Sooner or later when the dawn was breaking[00:00:06]

The joint was jumping and the walls were shaking[00:00:17]

Joey sneaked in the backdoor way[00:00:20]

Pretending he was with the band he never used to pay[00:00:23]

He was no great draw at pulling the chicks[00:00:27]

He used to lie against the wall like he was holding up the bricks[00:00:30]

And all the things that guy used to do to get his kicks[00:00:34]

He was a legand in his lifetime with the neighborhood kids[00:00:37]

They said "Joey did this" and "Joey did that"[00:00:40]

Oh that guy was crazy what a crazy cat[00:00:43]

Then something strange would happen there's trouble on the way[00:00:47]

And trouble only means one thing [00:00:49]

Joey's on the street again [00:00:54]

Joey grew older older without a cause[00:01:03]

Got married had some kids and had his brushes with the law[00:01:06]

Settled down and got a job then said "I'm leaving" one day[00:01:09]

"I've gotta hang loose a while take care while I'm away "[00:01:12]

People said they'd seen him they were nearly always wrong[00:01:16]

'Cause no one knew how much he had where he'd gone or for how long[00:01:19]

'Til one day there came a rumor floating from the docks[00:01:23]

Saying a crazy stranger had been found lying among the rocks [00:01:25]

The said "Joey was this" and "Joey was that"[00:01:29]

Oh that guy was crazy what a crazy cat[00:01:32]

But no one quite believed it all rumors are the same[00:01:36]

And now if something happens they say [00:01:39]

Joey's on the street again [00:01:44]

When Joey moved away[00:02:58]

A lot of the kids said "I can't stay around here"[00:03:02]

They said "I'm moving out going away[00:03:08]

They said "I'm leaving getting out[00:03:15]

"I'm gonna go somewhere where it doesn't stink[00:03:36]

Away from the alleys somewhere I can think[00:03:38]

Wash the dirt from my hands watch it wash down the sink[00:03:41]

It's a strain on the brain living close to the brink[00:03:45]

Look at the brickwall gravestone where some kid was sprayed[00:03:48]

Saying nobody could be bothered here to rule O K [00:03:51]

Don't believe it don't believe it what they say on TV[00:03:55]

There's no romance no romance[00:03:58]

For Joey in this city [00:04:12]
