Lyrics
0:09It's never quite complete
0:11It's never ever discrete
0:12But people disappear
0:13And there are people you meet
0:15They come from everywhere
0:16But not just anywhere
0:18They all got stories to tell
0:19They all got secrets to keep
0:21Then you find someone you like
0:22And maybe you go for a bite
0:24You start to feel secure
0:25You think it's something you like
0:26But as you're passing
0:27By you kinda wanna cry
0:29You thinking maybe
0:30She even saved your live
0:33She keeps me off the streets
0:36She keeps me off the streets
0:39She keeps me off the streets
0:42She keeps me off the streets
0:45So I was shooting the s**t
0:47Like I could handle it
0:48Like I could like on the dole
0:50And run around trading bikes
0:51And go crawl in a hole
0:53When it gets too cold
0:54With nowhere to be
0:55And nowhere to go
0:57And no boss to call my own
0:58I'm just wetting a line
1:00My time is mine it would be so divine
1:03Then you meet someone
1:04That seems to know the ropes
1:05Knows how to cheat a con
1:07That knows life's a joke
1:09She keeps me off the streets
1:12She keeps me off the streets
1:15She keeps me off the streets
1:17She keeps me off the streets
1:37So then you bend the law
1:39But when it finally breaks
1:40It breaks over your head
1:42And leaves you in its wake
1:43And then she calls her dad
1:45And lies about the cash
1:46And then she bales you out
1:47Then you feel like an ass
1:49Where had you gone
1:50You bee gone for so long
1:52I heard you're calling yourself a vagabond
1:54You're living out on the lamb
1:56And you got yourself in a jam
1:58You got nothing to eat
1:59When I see you again
2:00I'll see you out on the street
2:03She keeps me off the streets
2:06She keeps me off the streets
2:09She keeps me off the streets
2:11She keeps me off the streets
2:16She keeps me off the streets
2:19She keeps me off the streets
2:22She keeps me off the streets
2:24She keeps me off the streets
It's never quite complete It's never ever discrete But people disappear And there are people you meet They come from everywhere But not just anywhere They all got stories to tell They all got secrets to keep Then you find someone you like And maybe you go for a bite You start to feel secure You think it's something you like But as you're passing By you kinda wanna cry You thinking maybe She even saved your live She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets So I was shooting the s**t Like I could handle it Like I could like on the dole And run around trading bikes And go crawl in a hole When it gets too cold With nowhere to be And nowhere to go And no boss to call my own I'm just wetting a line My time is mine it would be so divine Then you meet someone That seems to know the ropes Knows how to cheat a con That knows life's a joke She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets So then you bend the law But when it finally breaks It breaks over your head And leaves you in its wake And then she calls her dad And lies about the cash And then she bales you out Then you feel like an ass Where had you gone You bee gone for so long I heard you're calling yourself a vagabond You're living out on the lamb And you got yourself in a jam You got nothing to eat When I see you again I'll see you out on the street She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets She keeps me off the streets
