John Mellencamp Sidewalk & Streetlights lyrics

Homicide on the end of town and no one said it be easy
Sure has its ups and downs and Garfield is laughing
Sitting in a dark room, making love with Sylvania
No so called friends around, cigarettes and champagne
Gonna make me a big star, oh, haven't you heard yet
Don't know how it's going to go, too young to tell

And if it's just my name, well hell, I can change it
And if it's for the fame, I guess I better grab it fast
But it's just a dangerous game, that you're all playing, ooh
And you play it so well, so let's play it again

Sidewalks and streetlights, sure make a pretty picture

Strangers in the night, are you going my way?
You can drop me off at the corner, I can walk the rest of the way
It's not that far to the nearest star

And if it's for the money, hey, why can't I have it?
And if it's for the glory, I guess I better grab it fast
But it's just a dangerous game, that you're all playing, ooh
And you play it so well, so let's play it again, ooh
Let's play it again
