LYRICS

Nightclub lights are turning me out
Sidewalk skirts spin me around
Used to be human now I’m alive
Used to be true and now it’s a lie

A new convict out on the run
The kids scream “police stun-gun”
Losing myself losing my mind
Subway train get me there on time

Pick me up and take me to the right side of the streets

Smoke in the bar wine on the seats
$50,000 dreams
I got the motion in my hand
Finger on the middle of machine-gun land

Graveyard shift maniac eyes
Open up the gates eat us alive
Used to be human now we’re undead
Used to be nickel now its lead

Pick me up and take me to the right side of the streets

Get me out of the downtown
But don’t let them shake me down
Hail a cab to come downtown
Pick us up off the ground
and drop me off on the right side of the streets

Cause nightclub lights keep turning me out
Sidewalk skirts spin me around
Used to be human now I’m alive
Used to be true now it’s a lie

A new convict out on the run
The kids done scream “police stun-gun”
Losing myself losing my mind
Subway train get me there on time
Pick me up and take me to the right side of the streets
Pick me up and take me to the right side of the streets
Pick me up and take me to the right side of the streets
