Street lights spot me in a jailbreak
But I'm never bustin' out
Scrappin' for tickets to tomorrow
Like a fan from out of town
They say they'll pay my way
Send me somewhere warm and South
But I'd rather starve and stay
Keep biting my own mouth
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
Glued her eyes to the stars
Ready for her time
She met her heroes in a back room
Now she cuts in every line
She's the kind inclined to spiral
Like a staircase in the wind
But if you ask she'll blow you down
Only she can find her fix
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
Sometimes they catch him wandering
But he reigns himself back in
In the Arctic he's a palm tree
Just trying to fit in
Forced his mind to one track
Strapped him to the ground
Make him swallow the uphill pill
To kill the thrill of spinnin'
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
Livin' on the stray
