Street Child Tab

"Street Child"
		       
We are the little ones who roam the underbelly 
				              
Of the streets that normal people walk
		                 	      
Wrong side of the tracks, the deep end of the ocean
 				       
The color of the gypsies in the shadow night



				          
Darkness inside out seeps into your veins
Listen to the rain

The only thing keeping you alive
 	    
Is the gracious night



[Chorus:]

                  
Let me go, let me sleep until forever
                                      
Let me close my eyes and hide until the never
                  
Let me go, let me slip into the sky 
                                  
And tiptoe into madness in a hollow cry

                          
'Cause no one ever told me I committed any crime
                          
And no one ever told me how I went blind

                           
And all I ever wanted was a free mind
				          
A guiltless conscience and a place where I could fly


I threw my cards out on the table
              
And I put my neck out on the line

I took the verdict I was handed
        
And now I've served my time

[Chorus x2]

      
     SOLO

[Chorus x2]
