Joey's On The Streets Again - The Boomtown Rats
Sooner or later when the dawn was breaking
The joint was jumping and the walls were shaking
Joey sneaked in the backdoor way
Pretending he was with the band he never used to pay
He was no great draw at pulling the chicks
He used to lie against the wall like he was holding up the bricks
And all the things that guy used to do to get his kicks
He was a legand in his lifetime with the neighborhood kids
They said "Joey did this" and "Joey did that"
Oh that guy was crazy what a crazy cat
Then something strange would happen there's trouble on the way
And trouble only means one thing
Joey's on the street again
Joey grew older older without a cause
Got married had some kids and had his brushes with the law
Settled down and got a job then said "I'm leaving" one day
"I've gotta hang loose a while take care while I'm away "
People said they'd seen him they were nearly always wrong
'Cause no one knew how much he had where he'd gone or for how long
'Til one day there came a rumor floating from the docks
Saying a crazy stranger had been found lying among the rocks
The said "Joey was this" and "Joey was that"
Oh that guy was crazy what a crazy cat
But no one quite believed it all rumors are the same
And now if something happens they say
Joey's on the street again
When Joey moved away
A lot of the kids said "I can't stay around here"
They said "I'm moving out going away
They said "I'm leaving getting out
"I'm gonna go somewhere where it doesn't stink
Away from the alleys somewhere I can think
Wash the dirt from my hands watch it wash down the sink
It's a strain on the brain living close to the brink
Look at the brickwall gravestone where some kid was sprayed
Saying nobody could be bothered here to rule O K
Don't believe it don't believe it what they say on TV
There's no romance no romance
For Joey in this city
