Street Creature

(Willcox / Bogen)

Blown from the dustbin to the gutter, I'm just a street creature.

You can hear me approaching, I am tapping feet,
I'm a wild child, I'm just street meat.
I'm gonna take a car in the dark of night
And travel home to see all my old friends.
I'll catch them by surprise
Just to let them know I'm not living these lies,
I belong to the streets, I'm a wild child.

I'm searching, always searching,
Always searching for a new destination
Yes I'm searching, always searching,
Always searching for a new destination

City lights blink like electric eyes
As I move on in and out of trees.
Lizards run through pylons and telegraph wires
Higher grow my fires of curiosity.

I'm searching, always searching,
Always searching for a new destination
Yes I'm searching, always searching,
Always searching for a new destination
Til I'm going to get there, and I'm going to get there

I won't be stopped but the news travels fast
So I gotta get away, gotta get away, Gotta get away today.
Who and what am I to say the why's and where's?
All I know is I'm going to escape.

I'm searching, always searching,
Always searching, for a new destination
Yes I'm searching, always searching,
Always searching, for a new destination
Til I'm going to get there, and I'm going to get there
And I'm gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away today.
And I'm going to get there
And I'm going to get there...
Street creature...
