Lyrics Secrets In The Street - Nils Lofgren

Secrets In The Street

The neons are hot tonight baby
Light me up, take me in your arms
There’s so much we ought to learn baby
That ain’t in books or schools of charm
Ain’t in any university standin' right atop the law’s long arm
Out in the streets you can get a real view and hope is the charm
The secrets in the street are waiting to remind you
Secrets in the street, high hopes will never blind you
Secrets in the street, they’ll teach you about survival
Secrets in the street and not the self denial we’ve been sold
Been so uninspired and lonely
Been studying hard
The values of pain bottomed out, went waikin' at midnight
The streets breathed life
I danced with the rain
Gotta move my mind and heart from the celler
Out in the street where you get a real view
In the street where you find the real dreams
Know that some do come true
The secrets in the street are waiting to remind you
Secrets in the street, high hopes will never blind you
Secrets in the street, they’ll teach you about survival
Secrets in the street and not the self denial we’ve been sold
The secrets in the street are waiting to remind you
Secrets in the street, high hopes will never blind you
Secrets in the street, I’m talkin' 'bout survival
Secrets in the street and not the self denial we’ve been sold
