Breathe in the smells they are inviting
Look around and you can delight in love
taste this, the salt of the earth
and you can decide for yourself what you think it's
worth

chorus:
I've lived the lives the lives of millionaires,
wasting their time
I've lived the life the life and i don't care
've seen the strangest times and loved it there
I won't forget these times, let's dim the lights, and
smoke will fill the air

Up on the deck we're looking for something special
Up on the deck we peer into the night sky
Up on the deck we're lookin for a miracle
We didn't know it was right before our eyes

chorus

Steal me away to the darker streets
Steal me away, the darker streets are what's for me
now
You go and i'll see you there if you will wait for me
You go and i'll meet you in that place

chorus

I have been cast down in the lowest times
but you were by my side
you helped me to get by
and that is how i know that i am alive
