+<poem>You're chasing a rainbow in the night
+All those stop signs and street lights
+A different direction you go
+But it's still the same town you know
+You can't run anymore
+No runnin' away
+Like I told you before
+It's always the same
+Street life
+You're always returning to
+Street life
+I wish you luck
+??? to the sounds
+The rumble of subways underground
+Always in search of a way out
+But that's what the city is all about, yeah
+You can't run anymore
+No runnin' away
+Like I told you before
+It's always the same
+Street life
+You're always returning to
+Street life
+I wish you luck
+Street life
+You're always returning to
+Street life
+I wish you luck
+???
+You may need some time
+One thing's for sure
+You're livin' a lie
+Street life
+I wish you luck
+Street life
+You're always returning to
+Street life
+I wish you luck
+Street life
