Sidewalk And Streetlights Lyrics

Written by John Mellencamp



Homicide on the edge of town, and no one said it be easy

Sure has its ups and downs, and Garfield is laughing

Sitting in a dark room, making love with Sylvannia

No so called friends around, cigarettes and champagne

Gonna make me a big star, oh haven't you heard yet

Don't know how its going to go, too young to tell

And if its just my name, well hell I can change it

And if its for the fame, I guess I better grab it fast

But its just a dangerous game, that you're playing, oow

And you play it so well, so lets play it again



Sidewalks and Streetlights, sure make a pretty picture 

Strangers in the night, are you going my way 

You can drop me off at the corner, I can walk the rest of the way 

Its not that far to the nearest star 

And if its for the money, hey why can't I have it 

And if its for the glory, I guess I better grab it fast 

But its just a dangerous game, that you're playing, oow 

And you play it so well, so lets play it again, oow 

Lets play it again
