She's still another potty blonde who has always had her way Now just another hang around with a faded resume He's gonna be a leading man in the Gary Cooper mold Now working at a pretzel stand but it's him that's getting sold Big dreamer gonna take the town but she's running out of time Still singing in her sleazy louds to a house of derelict swine Self satisfying narcissist with a body like a gun He's thinking that's all there is but I don't want that job Streets of pain, oh they don't hear the crying Streets of pain, never felt the tears Streets of pain, oh they just keep on relying Getting through your head does some things never change Won't it finally be obvious that there's very little change Can't they see it's a Greyhound busting out their handsome brains Isn't anybody satisfied with the average girl next door Has she had to be glamourized so the world will love her more Streets of pain, sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain, never felt so cold Streets of pain, oh they mistake it's liver Not to mention all the stories never told Day to day becomes a social night Standing in somebody else's lane Anything can happen late at night In a moment she'll be outside Meet a million on a lucky streak Do it all the way as foolishly One of many common tragedies What else can there be So you better get on the road To the desolation station And you better bring all you want It's a permanent vacation We're waiting here with open arms But it isn't what it seems Just looking for the boulevard On the trail of broken dreams Streets of pain, oh they don't hear the crying Streets of pain, never felt the tears Streets of pain, oh they just keep on lying Get it through your head Cause something's never changed Streets of pain, sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain, never felt so cold Streets of pain, oh they're the stinkiest river Not to mention all the stories never told Streets of pain Streets of pain Streets of pain, yeah Streets of pain, yeah yeah Streets of pain Streets of pain, yeah Streets of pain, yeah yeah Streets of pain *
