He used to think that it was neat
   When he hung out on the street
   Now that it's his daily beat, he's not so sure
   Cause he's come to depend
   On a street with a dead end
   And he'll sell you his best friend, so he can score
  
   (CHORUS
  
   Boys and girls come out to play
   The junk mans on the streets to say
   He'll make your dreams feel real today
   And steal your minds tomorrow
  
  
   Now his thoughts don't seem so clear
   His whole life is filled with fear
   His habit cost him dear in every way
   His girl can't take the heat
   But his friends all cross the street
   Still the needle keeps him sweet
   If he can pay for one more day
  
  
   His bones have got no meat
   He's unsteady on his feet
   And he doesn't get to eat, not every day
   What started out for kicks
   Has become a daily fix
   An dhis girlfriend's turning tricks to pay his way
  
  
   (CHORUS)
  
   Boys and girls come out to play
   The junk man's on the streets to say
   He'll make your dreams feel real today
   And steal your minds tomorrow
