He used to think that it was neat  
When he hung out on the street  
Now that it's his daily beat, he's not so sure  
'Cause he's come to depend  
On a street with a dead end  
And he'll sell you his best friend, so he can score  
  
[Chorus]
Boys and girls come out to play  
The junk mans on the streets to say  
He'll make your dreams feel real today  
And steal your minds tomorrow  
  
Now his thoughts don't seem so clear  
His whole life is filled with fear  
His habit cost him dear in every way  
His girl can't take the heat  

But his friends all cross the street  
Still the needle keeps him sweet  
If he can pay for one more day  
  
His bones have got no meat  
He's unsteady on his feet   
And he doesn't get to eat, not every day  
What started out for kicks   
Has become a daily fix  
And his girlfriend's turning tricks to pay his way  
  
[Chorus]  

Boys and girls come out to play  
The junk man's on the streets to say  
He'll make your dreams feel real today  
And steal your minds tomorrow
