Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was a real live world, and I wanna live in it I  got up and sung in a whole lot of places like this Christmas  lights, but nobody gave a shit like this It was a real live world, and I wanna live in it [Chorus] So, if I'm a stranger now And  runnin' on my own time It's  'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown [Verse 2] Horses  playing on the radio Someone's in the bathroom sleeping off a bad one Queenie's selling roses out the back door It was a real live world, and I wanna live in it [Chorus] So,  if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown [Verse 3] Mama, I'm standing on the ledge-i-o Run, jump, or fly? I think I caught a bad one I guess we only get so many chances to shine It was a real live world and I wanna live in it [Chorus] So, if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown So, if I'm a stranger now And runnin' on my own time It's 'cause I made a vow Down at the Uptown
