Rhythm of the Street Songtext
von Patti Austin

My feet, bittersweet song of the city life
Caught between love and strife
Junkies′ dream
School kids scheme
Picturing limousines
Makin' the stairway scene

Something′s got to be exploding
Shake it, and loose, and set it free

The rhythm of the street (rhythm of the street)
Let the music carry me
Fill me with the rhythm of the street

Mother cries and the young girl flies
Out of her rusty cage
Liberty comes of age
Ten o'clock on any block
See how the players change
But the song always stays the same, yeah-yeah, yeah

Something's got to be exploding
Shake it, and loose, and set it free


The rhythm of the street (rhythm of the street)
Open-hearted symphony
Fill me with the rhythm of the street
The rhythm of the street (rhythm of the street)
Let the music carry me
Fill me with the rhythm of the street
The rhythm of the street

Something′s got to be exploding
Shake it, and loose, and set it free

The rhythm of the street (rhythm of the street)
Open-hearted symphony
Fill me with the rhythm of the street
The rhythm of the street (rhythm of the street)
Let the music carry me
Fill me with the rhythm of the street

The rhythm of the street
(The rhythm of the street) the rhythm of the street
Oh-oh, yeah (the rhythm of the street) the rhythm of the street
I feel the rhythm of the street, the rhythm of the street
The rhythm of the street
Yes, so now, I feel the rhythm of the street
From lower to the rhythm of the street
Hmm, on the low down, forgive me

Ooh-whoa-whoa, I feel the rhythm of the street
