The wind was howling,
Dogs were sleeping,
I had to bite my tongue.
Looking down the street,
I was hanging on
Eighty floors above the ground,
Suffering vertigo.
Got me a date with a drug store blond,
With a cure I know
She picks me up when I`m coming down.
Kicks on the street
It`s a shot in the arm.
Get your kicks on the street
Can`t do any harm.
Can`t put me on a drip feed,
Under state control.
I put a razor to my face,
And the steel is cold.
It ain`t going to take me too long before I get revived.
I`m traveling incognito,
Don`t want to be identified.
They dress you up,
They strip you down.
Ain`t going to find me falling asleep behind the driver`s wheel.
You get me intoxicated,
That`s the way I feel.
I can`t break the ice,
Shrinks in the heat,
Falling like an acrobat and landing on my feet.
She picks me up when I`m coming down.
