Lyrics

[00:01.443] Street corner felines
[00:06.690] Street corner felines
[00:22.945] Felines like to strut
[00:26.440] Canines like to hunt
[00:30.945] All animals seek companionship
[00:33.451]
[00:35.948] Ladies walk the pavement
[00:38.199] They’re looking for a fella who will pick them up tonight
[00:43.449] Men in limousines eyeball these kittens
[00:48.948] Nothing ever lights up this part of the city.
[00:52.948] Some guys are friendly and some guys are very mean A girl learns the truth when the lights go off.
[00:54.690]
[01:05.454] Street corner felines
[01:10.441] Their hides are for sale every day and night.
[01:16.199] Street corner felines
[01:21.690] Live and die upon this avenue. (yes)
[01:22.945]
[01:27.197] Red high heels and lipstick
[01:30.687] A white blouse that’s cut so very low
[01:35.438] Short skirts show off their fishnets
[01:38.943] She’s got a lovely french manicure.
[01:43.192] Underneath this clothing you can only imagine
[01:47.190]
[01:48.441] (bg voices) Hey girl, where you goin’ to?
[01:51.695] Oh-oh oh. Oh-oh oh
[01:52.449] (bg voices) Look around you – come on.
[01:55.700] (bg voices) There’s trouble everywhere.
[01:59.195]
[01:59.694] (bg voices) Hey girl, where you goin to?
[02:01.698] Oh-oh oh. Oh-oh oh
[02:03.200] (bg voices) Be careful, baby.Be careful.
[02:05.440]
[02:05.951] Street corner felines.
[02:09.690] Cindy ran away as a kid
[02:13.192] Her father liked the bottle and throwing fists
[02:17.942] For two years she sold herself as a woman (hustlin’)
[02:23.945] She plied the trade on the avenue, but still she feels the hurt.
[02:24.943]
[02:29.689] Last week Sally turned up dead
[02:33.941] Strangled for a thrill and left in the gutter.
[02:38.445] This savvy kitten had a gun in her purse
[02:43.450] But she wasn’t quick enough
[02:44.450]
[02:45.692] Look out, felines, this dog is still hungry.
[02:52.952] (bg voices) Hey girl, where you goin’ to?
[02:55.956] Oh-oh oh. Oh-oh oh
[02:56.699] (bg voices) Look around you – come on.
[02:59.190] (bg voices) There’s trouble everywhere.
[03:02.952] (bg voices) Hey girl, where you goin to?
[03:05.453] Oh-oh oh. Oh-oh oh
[03:08.193] (bg voices) Be careful, baby.Be careful.
[03:09.192]
[03:10.696] Street corner felines.
[03:36.691] Street corner felines
[03:40.457] Their hides are for sale every day and night. (I see)
[03:45.947] Street corner felines (just a little girl)
[03:51.695] Live and die upon this avenue.
[03:55.701]
[03:56.196] Street corner felines – look out, now!
[04:01.459] Street corner felines – you better watch it, baby.
[04:06.690] Street corner felines – you gotta be ready. It ain’t safe out here.
[04:12.194] Street corner felines – it ain’t safe out here, no no.
[04:17.443] Street corner felines – No, no, no now. It’s not too late to go legit.
[04:22.947] Street corner felines – You’re better than this.
[04:28.438] Street corner felines – Street corner felies, watch yourself.
[04:34.441] Street corner felines – Watch yourself, watch yourself.
[04:38.688] Street corner felines – No, no, no, no, no, no, no. (It ain’t safe out here.)
