Lyrics

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
