Kicks On The Street - Wishbone Ash

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
