1. MEAN STREET


At night I walk this stinkin' street
Past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces
And I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen

This is home
This is Meanstreet
It's our home
The only one I know
And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what'd ya think is nothing
Might be something after all
Now you know this ain't no through street
The end is dead ahead

The poor folks play for keeps down here
They're the living dead
Come on down
Down to Meanstreet
They're dancing now
Out on Meanstreet

It's always here and now, my friend
It ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting
I'll come and I'll take what's mine
We're searching for the latest thing
A break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks
Ones like you ain't never seen
This is home
This is Meanstreet
It's our home
Only one I know

This is home See, a gun is real easy
This is Meanstreet In this desperate part of town
This is home Turns you from hunted into hunter
This is Meanstreet Go and hunt somebody down
This is home But hear me now, somebody said "Fair Warning, Lord !
This is Meanstreet Lord, strike that poor boy down





2. PUSH COMES TO SHOVE


Does it seem cold in here to you?
What's there to do tonight, anything?
Give me another cigarette
Is there anything left in that bottle?

Yeah-Give it here
Some people live apart;
They break your heart so damn easy
And then one night in sunny victory
She decides and you agree, she's leaving

Will you ever be the same?
Will you ever be the same?
That's when push comes to shove
I believe it was inevitable
That's when push comes to shove
Could this be the one that got away?

I get the message
Guess I knew it all along
Says you're a stranger
Here in paradise, you fool
Seems like forty days and forty nights
Since someone used my first name
Including you

Will you ever be the same?
Is this the one that got away?
Now I'm ahead of the game
Driving me insane
It's a small change
Ooh, I'm just a pushover
Over and over
