Side Streets

The neighborhood that

I live in,

I’ve always seen as home.

At certain times at the evening,

It’s like a no-go zone.

Got cash in my pocket to last the weekend.

And I’ve got features

I quite like

And don’t mind keeping.

But I still walk the side streets home,

Even when

I’m on my own.

If I let myself believe all the bad press and horror stories,

I wouldn’t set a foot outside.

You say I live in a bubble,

I find a bubbles best.

I don't think of the trouble

Just turn and head due west.

Quite light on my feet if

I ever need be,

As I zip down the street,

No one ever sees me.

But I still walk the side streets home,

Even when

I’m on my own.

If I let myself believe all the bad press and horror stories,

I wouldn’t set a foot outside.

I’m tempting fate, (I know, tell me about it)

So nonchalant, (I know and I don't doubt it)

I’ll probably get it tommorrow.

Till then

I walk the side streets home,

Even when i’m on my own.

If I let myself believe… (Side streets home) (On my own)

Believe...
