Lyrics
Tilting at windmills on a downtown street O the big grey landscape has lost its sheep She wears a tight smile as she's walking the beat Looking for a little fame This ain't no Oliver Twist No Mr. Brownlow here She gathers enough spare change to get something to eat She takes emeralds and extasy On a journey that's miles and miles away from danger She just wants to be happy She's living on the street Flowers in the concrete What a beautiful beat Flowers in the concrete Walking on lines of poetry She is a Shakespearian tragedy Between the beatniks the bums and the bohemians there's always somebody on the run from danger She's just trying to get away from the stranger She's living on the street...She dances on the pavement Like she's the only one Who's a stranger In a cloudburst she starts to cry You have to do the weirdest things just to stay alive I'm going down to meet my fate at the Jesus saves sign Maybe get lucky maybe find my smile Yea she's living on the street Flowers in the concrete
