Lyrics for Song: Mean Street
Lyrics for Album: Van Halen Box 1978-1984 [2000]
At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazys on my block
And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk
And I'm searchin for the latest thing, a break in this routine
I'm talkin some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen
This is home
This is Mean Street
This is home
The only one I know
And we don't worry bout tomorrow cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what you think is nothin might be somethin after all
Now you know this ain't no through street, end is dead ahead
Poor folks play for keeps down here, they're the living dead
Come on down
Down to Mean Street
They're dancin now
Out on Mean Street
Dance baby!
It's always here and now my friend, it ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting, I come and take what's mine
I'm searchin for the latest thing, a break in this routine
I'm talkin some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen
This is home
This is Mean Street
This is home
The only one I know
This is home
See, a gun is real easy
This is Mean Street
In this desperate part of town
This is home
Turns you from hunted into hunter
This is Mean Street
Go and hunt somebody down
This is home
Somebody said FAIR WARNING!
This is Mean Street
The Lord is going to strike that poor boy down
