She's still another party blonde / Who had it all her way Now just another hanger on / 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 at a sleazy lounge / To a house of drooling swine Self satisfied narcissist / With a body like a god He's thinking that's all there is / But I don't want that job Streets of pain / They don't hear the crying Streets of pain / Never felt the tears Streets of pain / They just keep on lying Get it through your head / 'Cause some things never change Won't it finally be obvious / That there's very little chance Can't they see it's a Greyhound bus / And not their handsome prince Isn't anybody satisfied / With the average girl next door Does she have to be glamorized / 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 / Lower than a snake can slither Not to mention all the / Stories never told Pretty girl becomes a socialite / Standing in somebody else's light Anything can happen late at night In the morning she'll be out of sight Made a million on a lucky streak / Threw it all away as foolishly One of many comic tragedies / What else can there be So you better get on the road / To the desolation station And you better bring all you own / 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 / They don't hear the crying Streets of pain / Never felt the tears Streets of pain / They just keep on lying Get it through your head / 'Cause some things never change Streets of pain / Sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain / Never felt so cold Streets of pain / Lower than a snake can slither Not to mention all the / Stories never told
