they've been on Christmas night
But see, the city's a spat
is gonna land in your lap
If you're stabbin' at the night
Yeah, I think that's alright
Hey, living on the streets
You know the time gets bad
But you're staring at the light
You're walking through life
with a knife in your back
If you can't take anymore
Anymore, get free, alright
Yeah, I changed my car, alright
To go and live a different way
That's the only thing I haven't done
See, it's a strange little life
You're gonna make it in time
I had a glimpse of a life
But the morning seemed bright
I pulled down on the curtains
But am I wasting my life?
I took out the rag to pile it up high
Crawled through the window
with the birds in your eye
You don't have to have a reason
But get on with it, right?
You're never gonna change my call,
To go and live a different way
That's the only thing I haven't done
See, it's a strange little life
You're gonna make it in time
I had a glimpse of a life
But then it turned all to dust
Yeah, it's a strange little life
You're gonna make it in time
I had another glimpse of my life
Will I catch it in time to get free?
