East End Streets

They say I'm putting it to the test
I've just got to run, I've just got to run
They say you're better off than the rest
So can you be the one to stop me falling off

I hit them with the license stare
Better there than to forget it
No one told me to prepare, come on
Come on, come on now
You hit me with your righteous stare
I'm drinking only to forget it
It's the only way for you to care, come on
Come on, come on now

Today I feel that I've been stronger
If only at the knees, if only in my sleep
East end streets are low no longer
I'm walkin' with my friends, if only in my head

I spy a little lost girl again
Will they pick it up, will we pick it up
I cry hard tears to drown the end
But there's never been enough, no no
'Nough, no no, 'nough, no

You're standing in a phone box scared
My psychic promised I'm in heaven
But no one told me to prepare, come on
Come on, come on now

Today I feel that I've been stronger
If only at the knees, if only in my sleep
East end streets are low no longer
I'm walkin' with my friends, if only in my head

Ohh, I can't lie
Don't wanna fake it
Ohh, I won't try
To ever escape it
Ohh, I can't lie
Don't wanna fake it
I can't talk these words
Won't spit what it is to me

Today I feel that I've been stronger
If only at the knees, if only in my sleep
East end streets are low no longer
I'm walking with my friends, if only in my head
