Lonely Street [Portuguese translation]

This was lonely street

One-way avenue

Hustler's paradise

Small talk sidewalk news

You live to stay alive

There, the dreams die young

Wrapped in alibis

I once sang that song

Believed in all the lies

And pride is letting people die

Whoa, the dues you gotta pay

Whoa, it's a killer

Life on lonely street

Fear runs the city

Find some sympathy

Whoa, it's a killer

Life on lonely street

It's sad to think some people never leave

This is downtown blues

There's no sadder song

The tune is everywhere

The words are on the walls

You live to stay alive

Back on lonely street

Been a long, long time

Nothing seemed to change

Just the reasons why

I came to say goodbye (bye-bye)

Whoa, whoa, the dues you gotta pay

Hey, hey

Whoa, it's a killer

Life on lonely street

Fear runs the city

Find some sympathy

Whoa, it's a killer

Life on lonely street

It's sad to think some people never leave

Whoa, it's a killer

Life on lonely street

Cheap wine on the breath of the city

More shit than you've ever seen

Whoa, it's a killer

Life on lonely street

It's sad to think some people never leave

It's sad to think some people never leave

Whoa, yeah
