I walk home the same old streets
by grey walls and hard concrete
I see the factories' silhouette
oh my love I'm a poet

I am only living
when I am drinking
cause I got no alternatives
I am out of initiatives

it's the only life I know
to wear the streets of this town
to wear down the sidewalks home
it's the only life I learned
to wear the street of this old town

I watch the days go by
while life is on standby
but I've got no more time to give
we all die, but not all live

it's the only life I know
to wear the streets of this town
to wear down the sidewalks home
it's the only life I learned
to wear the street of this old town

it's the only life I know
to wear the streets of this town
to wear down the sidewalks home
it's the only life I learned
to wear the street of this cold town
of this cold town
