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
