At my feet
Bittersweet
Song of the city life
Caught between love and strife
Junkies' dream
School kids scheme
Picturing limousines
Makin' the stairway scene
[Bridge:]
Something's got to be exploding
Shake it loose and set it free
[Chorus 1:]
The rhythm of the street
Let the music carry me
Fill me with the rhythm of the street
Mother cries and the
Young girl flies
Out of her rusty cage
Liberty comes of age
Ten o'clock
On any block
See how the players change
But the song always stays the same
[Bridge]
[Chorus 2:]
The rhythm of the street
Open hearted symphony
Fill me with the rhythm of the street
The rhythm of the street
Let the music carry me
Fill me with the rhythm of the street
[Bridge]
[Chorus 2]

Fill me with the rhythm of the street
